Keeping it Simple

It is my prayer that I share the Gospel in such a way that those who read my posts can understand fully what I’m saying or better yet, what God is saying through me. It is not my intention to use big words or to challenge our understanding with things hidden and not clearly made plain. The Gospel is for all of us to receive, for all of us to understand and for all of us to believe. As Paul’s writings indicate, I too must keep it simple. I hope that I have and that you find the simplicity of my posts a blessing unto you and to whomever you may share them with. Be blessed today!

“And when I came to you, brothers and sisters, proclaiming to you the testimony of God [concerning salvation through Christ], I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom [no lofty words of eloquence or of philosophy as a Greek orator might do]; for I made the decision to know nothing [that is, to forego philosophical or theological discussions regarding inconsequential things and opinions while] among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified [and the meaning of His redemptive, substitutionary death and His resurrection]. I came to you in [a state of] weakness and fear and great trembling. And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom [using clever rhetoric], but [they were delivered] in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit [operating through me] and of [His] power [stirring the minds of the listeners and persuading them], so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom and rhetoric of men, but on the power of God.” (1 CORINTHIANS‬ ‭2:1-5‬ ‭AMP‬‬)
