18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. We are free in Christ to obey the Spirit and fulfill God’s intentions for our lives.

24June2010 2Cor 3:6
6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. God is in the equipping business. We come to Christ recognizing and confessing our need for Him, our need for cleansing and salvation. We then go throughContinue reading “24June2010 2Cor 3:6”

14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.

5 From what you have, take an offering for the LORD. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the LORD an offering of gold, silver and bronze; Two important principles about giving are seen in this passage.

29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD. Moses was not at all concerned about his personal appearance. What a contrast with today’s externally focused culture. For us, everythingContinue reading “21June2010 Ex 34:29”
20June2010 Ex 34:14
14 Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. Jealousy can be a good thing. When we are jealous for the best for those we love, that is a good jealousy. I am not talking about material things. I am talking about the best from God’sContinue reading “20June2010 Ex 34:14”

8 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Here the Apostle Paul admits to what appears to be a deep depression. Imagine that! The personContinue reading “19June2010 2Cor 1:8”

15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. One of the worst things we can do is go some place without God’s Presence.

8 But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost, 9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me. Great opportunities often come with great opposition. This seems so foreign to our ears. We usually associate effectiveness with a lack of difficulties. We avoid difficulties.Continue reading “17June2010 1Cor 16:8-9”
