Be careful not to jump to conclusions before the Lord returns
as to whether or not someone is faithful.
When the Lord comes, He will bring our deepest secrets to light,
and will reveal our private motives.
Who makes you different from anyone else?
What do you have that you did not receive?
And if all you have is from God,
why boast as though you have accomplished something on your own? 1 Corinthians. 1-7
The kingdom of God is not just fancy talk,
it is living by God's power. 1 Corinthians 4:20
God says we ought to be mature, but we're still infants.
Only able to handle the milk of the Word, not solid food.
You can't handle anything stronger, it reads.
You are still not ready, not able to bear it.
Not able yet to receive it, not able to handle it.
...the deeper things of God.
You are still worldly, still controlled by your sinful desires.
Jealousy, quarreling...
You are acting like people who don't belong to the Lord. 1 Corinthians 3:1-4
There is going to come a time of testing at the judgment day
to see what kind of work each builder has done.
Everyone's work will be put through the fire
to see whether or not it keeps its value. 1 Corinthians 3:13
We bow our hearts
We bend our knees
Oh Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyes
From evil things
Oh Lord we cast down our idols
So give us clean hands
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh give us clean hands
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh God let this be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob
Oh God let us be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob
