“We preach Christ crucified”

Manner of Life
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalm 127:1

Daily Meditation
“We preach Christ crucified”
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:23; 2 Corinthians 2:17; Ephesians 1:12

Hymn
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” Matthew 28:19
“Go preach My Gospel,” saith the Lord,
“Bid the whole earth My grace receive;
He shall be saved that trusts My word,
He shall be damned that won’t believe.

“I’ll make your great commission known,
And ye shall prove My Gospel true,
By all the works that I have done,
By all the wonders ye shall do.

“Go heal the sick, go raise the dead,
Go cast out devils in My Name;
Nor let My prophets be afraid,
Though Greeks reproach, and Jews blaspheme.

“Teach all the nations My commands,
I’m with you till the world shall end;
All power is trusted to My hands,
I can destroy, and I defend.”

He spake, and light shone round His head;
On a bright cloud to Heav’n He rode;
They to the farthest nations spread
The grace of their ascended God.

Consolation
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:57-58

Exhortation
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God, That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:13-16

Proverbs
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. Proverbs 23:31-33

Weekly Verse:
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. Luke 18:13
