Are your "sufferings" truly sufferings of Christ? If so, then the consolation should be real. If your sufferings are your own, then the consolation might not be as comforting. A lot of various topics in this chapter -- consolation, stedfast hope in others if..., delivered past -- present -- future, benefits of sincerity, confidence, preaching according to the flesh, being anointed today, pastors having dominion over your faith -- a very interesting chapter, actually.

How important is forgiveness? -- Paul's own personal concerns about 'hard' preaching -- No Titus in your life -- Triumph in Christ -- corrupting the word of God. This is yet another interesting chapter. This time around with Corinthians has become a very interesting series for me to preach -- I hope it has been the same for you. Bonus subjects mini-sermons word studies: acknowledge -- what should you acknowledge and envy toward us and from us toward others. |

What does it mean, "Ye are our epistle..."? How can our sufficiency be of God today? How is it we can have 'plainness of speech' today? Where do we find that plainness of speech that we should be able to understand? Is the 'vail' still upon the hearts of people today as they follow the four Gospels? Are you troubled AND distressed; perplexed AND in despair? You shouldn't be! When we are to have the life of Jesus manifest in our body, which 'life' is it -- the Jewish one from the four Gospels or the risen life as Paul preaches? Both? Are they the same? ... and more in the audio. |

This chapter is full of gems! Do we really want to follow Paul's teachings, or do we just 'pretend' to be following his teachings in our daily walk? We ought to be burdened to be clothed -- but even Christians are not burdened to be clothed today let alone 'clothed' for their judgment seat. Christ gives us his righteousness -- his clothes, as such, but why is there such a willingness and desire to be unclothed today among Christians? Is there a difference in clothes in the Tribulation when compared to the church age today? Are we completely accepted by Christ today? Are we to 'fear' the judgment seat? How can we 'answer' those that glory in appearance and not in the heart? What do you know about the ministry of reconciliation? |

There is great understanding within this chapter that shows us the identical application from our King James Bible today. We see in chapter 6 that Paul expresses his concern toward those carnal Christians as to whether or not they are saved. Could that be an issue for more than we may realize these days? Chapter 7 expresses Paul's confidence toward his people 'obeying' what he teaches. Would Paul have that same confidence in us today? I do not believe so -- especially in us fathers, as Paul treats his people like his children. Fathers would be wise to look to Paul as their teacher as to how to be a father -- from what I have seen, I see few fathers even willing to learn from Paul. I believe that the worst enemy for a little child/teen girl/young adult woman is their father today. I cannot wait until the next Fathers Day -- I have just the right message for those fathers who still have children around the house and are destroying them for eternity. For those of us who are too old -- well... anyone interested in some experiential advice? Turn to Paul, not Paulson! |

More great stuff on money and the ministry today! These two chapters, along with I Corinthians 16, will tell you all you need to know about 'giving' today. You can even see where today's preachers preaching for filthy lucre as hirelings actually get their verses -- but you can also see how they twist them to pull in more money. Then, read the two verses that seem to be ignored by virtually all preachers / evangelists, etc. today. Giving is not to be a hard 'doctrine' nor is it supposed to 'hurt' anyone. Proper giving is truly an act of grace, just as Paul says. |

Paul begins his departure -- he wants to make sure he is not mis-read or is ever considered to 'be in the flesh' with his preaching and helping people. He addresses in detail the modern Christian minister today as a minister of Satan -- no wonder these guys today don't like the King James Bible. Paul has the authority from God as today the King James Bible carries on that authority from Paul! |

Paul finishes up his words to the Corinthian Church. Remember, this is a carnal fleshy bunch of people -- like our churches today... even ye ole' King James Bible churches. What do we see in these chapters? Paul is the man in 12:1-5; the thorn in his flesh is ___; we can have that same thorn today; how important God's grace is to us personally; Paul cared for his people more than we can imagine -- read how much; how to train up your children so they don't rebel against God. In chapter 13, we see Paul 'not sparing' this time because it seems that even after 2 visits, (a Paul sermon today) they aren't getting their lives fixed up yet. And finally, how does this chapter help put the Lord's Supper issue to rest? Hint: see verse 14! |
