"Don't be afraid to ask questions" is a motto to live by. It is important to ask questions when we don't understand something. We need to set aside our ego and acknowledge that we don't know everything, as this is how we mature. However, we must not mistake this attitude for the rebellious "question authority" movement of the past. That is simply a disguise to do whatever one wants to do with no restraint. It is crucial to remember that God ordains the powers that be [Romans 13.1]. We should question things and not blindly accept everything we hear as truth. For example, if a minister claims a Bible verse says something, we should give him credit for his honesty and faithfulness of heart in declaring the Word, but feel empowered to verify. Checking things out for ourselves is how we make truth our own. When you put the work in, these verified facts become 'thus says the Lord' instead of 'thus says the preacher.' Failing to slow down, and think, leaves us open to great folly because, if the well-intentioned information is erroneous, it will not produce results. In today's podcast, we delve into the certainty of our powerful victory over the world's wisdom, which is ultimately doomed to fail. Join us as we explore this topic in this week's episode of Light on Life: "Why Your Powerful Victory Over Satan's Wisdom Is Certain." All on this weeks Light on Life.

The spotlight today is on God's wisdom this week because of Pauls' First letter to the Corinthians. Stephen Charnock, a Puritan scholar, devoted 107 pages to a detailed biblical study of God's wisdom in his book The Existence and Attributes of God. Here is one quote from his study. "Wisdom consists in acting for a right end.… He is the wisest man that has the noblest end and the fittest means, so God is infinitely wise; as He is the most excellent being, so He has the most excellent end." Walking in the wisdom of God guaruntees an excellent end. That's a marvelous fact of God's Word. How to Spotlight God's Wisdom in Your Every Day Life, that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

In Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, we discover the incredible power of the Cross of Jesus. This can be found in verse seventeen of chapter one. Moving on to verse eighteen, Paul highlights the superiority of the 'word of the cross' compared to the word of the world. This is something that truly resonates with us and has the potential to inspire others. The Cross of Jesus holds within it the most profound wisdom ever witnessed on Earth. This week, on Light on Life, we will delve into the significance of having complete confidence in the Cross and how it leads to ultimate wisdom. This is our focus on this wek's Light on Life.

In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul addresses the issue of division that was prevalent in the house churches of the city. Division can be seen as a barrier between two sides, much like the Berlin Wall that was erected by the Communists in East Germany during the 1960s to keep East Germans from uniting with West Germans. Similar walls of division are constructed every day in churches and between believers. However, there is no wall that is worth the price of division. The only way to maintain unity in the church and between believers is by staying connected to the Spirit. This is the message that Paul sought to convey to the Corinthian Church, and it is a lesson that we should also strive to learn and practice in our generation. This week's edition of Light on Life focuses on why a spirit of division should not be embraced.

Today, we will be discussing the importance of avoiding strife and understanding why it is necessary. The Church at Corinth faced significant issues related to strife, and as a result, addressing this problem became a central focus in Paul's letter to the church. If Paul considers overcoming strife to be a crucial aspect of his ministry, then it should also be a priority for us. This week's Light on Life will explore why engaging in strife indicates a need for personal growth.

Everyone has a deep desire to understand their purpose in life, to know why they are here and why they are wired the way they are. We all want to uncover God's plan for our lives and find our true calling. It's a common quest that many people embark on. Some may shy away from it, fearing that God will send them to Africa or some other challenging place. But there's no need to worry about that. God is incredibly intelligent and the ultimate communicator. If He wants you to go to Africa, rest assured that He will make that clear to you. Today, we will delve into the topic of discovering God's call on your life and how to find it. Join us on this week's episode of Light on Life.

In this week's podcast, the subject of guilt steps forward as we march through the first chapter of First Corinthians. Paul writes to this church informing them of a particular thing God will do for all Jesus' followers. He will sustain them to the end, holding them guiltless on the day of Lord Jesus Christ. But, it's evident that some in the church house are still struggling with guilt. The good news is the struggle is over if you tap into the finished work of Jesus. How to Live a Sustained and Guilt-Free Life, that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

Today's dive into the Book of First Corinthians brings us to the subject of maturity. What does it really mean to be mature in God? There's all kinds of thinking out there on this. Some just don't know. That's why in today's podcast, we're talking about What It Means to Be Really Mature in God all on this week's Light on Life.

In today's podcast, our subject matter in the book of First Corinthians takes us to the subject of knowing God. A.W. Tozer spoke out on this topic with the following thought. "The decline of the knowledge of the holy has brought on our troubles. A rediscovery of the majesty of God will go a long way toward curing them. It is impossible to keep our moral practices sound and our inward attitudes right while our idea of God is erroneous or inadequate."[1. A.W. Tozer, Knowledge of the Holy] Is this a thought provoking quote to you? We are headed out in this direction today focusing on 'What You Need to Know about Knowing God.' That's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

So, we have finished the books of First and Second Thessalonians and now we are switching to Paul's two letters to the Corinthians. In upcoming podcasts, we are going to be talking about this first letter. We will do some Bible background on the book and focus on just how the gospel came to Corinth. Corinth was a major city in the eastern Peloponnese of Greece. It lay near the narrow isthmus that joined the Peloponnese to the mainland. The city lay at the foot of a mountain, Akrocorinth (elevation 1883 feet), which also served as a location for some of the cults of the city. The gospel of Jesus Christ changed this city. How did it do it? To answer that we'll take on the subject of 'How to Impact an Immoral City: Lessons from Corinth' all on this week's Light on Life.
