When we are ready to quit, when we feel we have no more to offer and when success seems but a dead dream, it is then in our fear and trembling that we may see the transforming power of God released. The Lord said “I have many people in this city”: but where the movement of God goes the spirit of opposition follows. So the Jews in Corinth are not seeking moral renewal in any way; they bring false charges against Paul and Paul thinks “Here We Go Again” but this time God’s hand intervenes through the voice of the Roman Proconsul.
“Great names come and go, but the name of Jesus remains. The devil still hates it, the world still opposes it. It is the weapon that defeats the enemy and the motivation that compels our sacrifice and service. !! ― Warren W. Wiersbe,
To holy people the very name of Jesus is a name to feed upon, a name to transport. His name can raise the dead and transfigure and beautify the living.
You see…."Jesus did not come into the world to make bad men good. He came into the world to make dead men live! Leonard Ravenhill:
