I Know Nothing

Good Morning,

1 Corinthians 2:1-5 (NIV)
When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.

This sentiment expressed so eloquently by Paul to the church at Corinth over 2,000 years ago is exactly what I wish to emulate in the writing that I do each day and send along to you. The obvious humility that Paul has in these words make me more fully understand that it is God who does the writing and I, really, only hold the pen...type the words.

What Paul explains here is what we all should want to do. That is, "...to know nothing...except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." If we approach our lives and our evangelism with this thought firmly etched into our minds, then we will have all we ever need to help people know and understand God's plan of salvation and to bring people to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

If...when...you find that I'm overstepping my bounds and going beyond that which you know in your heart I should do, please, don't hesitate to point it out to me. I think all of us fall to the sin of pride on a fairly regular basis, and that is surely true of me. So, feel free to criticize when you know in your heart that I've given MY words and not God's.

As a reminder today...Let us all keep one another in prayer. Even if it's a simple, "Lord, please, bless ......." I covet your prayers.

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
