    51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed–52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.(NIV) This verse speaks of the future and what a future. For a christian this verse brings incredible hope. The world that we live is tiresome, we get weary. Sometimes... Read more »

    woestyn added a text contribution Sin - it's effect
    34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God–I say this to your shame. (NIV) For me this verse says that sin effects our senses, the way we perceive things, comprehend things. This is the reason why sin is so dangerous in our lifes. We can't see clearly if we walk in sin. It blinds us and we don't see reality as it is. It is as if sin puts... Read more »

    woestyn added a text contribution Inherited sin - our nature
    22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. (NIV) This verse for me speaks clearly where our sin comes from. We inherited the sinful nature from Adam. Through Adam the human race has fallen into sin and is far from God. That is why each human being is not born without sin like a clean piece of paper. While we are still in our mothers wombs we have this stain of sin in our human... Read more »

    17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. (NIV) For me this verse breathes something fresh in my spiritual life. I must confess that many times in my gospel presentation I end with the words that "Jesus died for you." But this is only half the story. Yes, Jesus died but as long as he was in the grave , Death still had power over Him. The victory came... Read more »

Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me." (NIV) I went out tonight and had a conversation with 5 men. Sowing the seed. What drives me? The above verses...I am compelled to preach..woe to me if I do not preach... Read more »

    19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” Tonight I was sitting in my flat when this verse came to mind and I thought : "Well Fishermen don't do any catching on land. They need to go out and do something. So that it was I did tonight. I went out to fish for men. I had a conversation with 2 men about our Lord. I am going to meet them again. The Lord has blessed my obedience.... Read more »

    woestyn added a text contribution Integrity
    17 For this reason I am sending to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church. For this verse speaks of Integrity. Paul's teaching and his life were the same. His way of life confirmed what he was teaching. Paul had the confidence to say : "Watch my life". Was Paul... Read more »
