A Decade of Secrets This nation has once again been shocked! The developments in Cleveland where three young women had been allegedly kidnapped and held captive for a decade or more have sent shock waves through the news outlets that are still being talked about.

The Lord Saw Their Disobedience When Paul penned his first epistle to the saints at Corinth, he informed these brethren that he experienced weakness, fear, and much trembling during the time of his work there (I Corinthians 2:3).

If you want to be considered a good conversationalist, focus on the other person. Ask them questions about themselves, their family, their lives. They will leave the conversation feeling good about themselves and the conversation. They enjoyed their conversation with you.

To Endure In 1 Corinthians 15:58 Paul wrote, “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.” Notice the idea of steadfastness and being unmoveable while being actively involved in the Lord’s work. Add to that the words found in 1 Corinthians 16:13, “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong” and you see along with suchl....

Nothing else can be as exciting and filled with happiness to a Christian—it is the day set aside (1 Cor. 16:1-2; Heb. 10:25) to join our brothers and sisters in Christ (Acts 11:26) to worship God (Heb. 13:15), our Creator.
