The Power and Wisdom of the Cross

The message of John 3:16–17 and 1 Corinthians 1:18–24 is one and the same: the love of God and the wisdom of God are revealed supremely in the cross of Christ. The world may see weakness and folly, but to those whom God has called, the crucified Son is salvation, righteousness, and life. Let us therefore hold fast to this gospel, unashamed of Christ crucified. For in Him we behold the very power and wisdom of God.

Blessed are the Meek

The meek shall inherit the earth. They are welcomed into the Kingdom of God and enjoy its blessings even now. The meek are not impatient or quarrelsome, nor are they always entangled in contentions, disputes, debates, or strife. Biblical meekness involves an attitude of humility, gentleness, and a steadfast reliance upon God—even in the midst of trials and tribulations.

Whatever the Lord Pleases, He Does

Psalm 135:1-6 invites us to praise and thank God for His greatness and care. This passage reminds us that God, like a loving parent, always watches over us, guiding and protecting us. It calls us to remember how God chose His people. He is powerful, doing what is best for us, and His love never fails. These verses encourage us to trust in His sovereignty, knowing that He is always at work for our good.
