Romans Chapter 1

- Therefore, God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, so that their bodies might be dishonored among them. They exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen.

- Man’s word versus God’s word! - Adam chose man’s word instead of God’s word! - And the majority have always done the same! - The majority always looks for the easiest way! - Pure human logic! - And man has always paid the price for it! - But there is a time limit! - It won’t last forever!

1 Corinthians Chapter 1

- For it is written: “I will make the wisdom of the wise men perish, and the intelligence of the intellectuals I will reject.” Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this system of things? Has not God made the wisdom of the world foolish? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not get to know God through its wisdom, God was pleased through the foolishness of what is preached to save those believing.

- Wisdom of men: power, war, violence, destruction, greed, corruption! - God’s wisdom means the total opposite! - It’s a question of time: today we can get the wisdom of men and its consequences! - But we have to wait to see the consequences of God’s wisdom! - And the majority is not ready to wait! - Human logic but no wisdom! - Always short term!

Galatians Chapter 1

- Of course, you heard about my conduct formerly in Judaism, that I kept intensely persecuting the congregation of God and devastating it; and I was making greater progress in Judaism than many of my own age in my nation, as I was far more zealous for the traditions of my fathers. But when God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his undeserved kindness, thought good to reveal his Son through me so that I might declare the good news about him to the nations, I did not immediately consult with any human; nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before I was, but I went to Arabia, and then I returned to Damascus.

- Here we have the reason why Jesus chose Paul for his special mission: he was zealous! - And when Jesus called him he left Judaism for God’s way without looking back! - That’s what we have to do: when we choose God’s way, we mustn’t turn back but always go straight away! - Not like Lot’s wife! - Eternal life is at stake! - And Paul didn’t go all at once to Jerusalem and to the apostles! - But he served God and Jesus directly and deeply!

Ephesians Chapter 2

- Yes, among them we all at one time conducted ourselves in harmony with the desires of our flesh, carrying out the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and we were naturally children of wrath just as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, made us alive together with Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses - by undeserved kindness you have been saved.

- When we don’t know about God’s word, we can’t behave according to God’s word! - But being told about God's word, we have the opportunity to turn our backs from our past life and follow God! - And live in harmony with God’s word! - And adopt a better style of life which can protect us from many problems! - And then we can have a purpose in life! - And having the hope of working forever for our creator is something incredible to think about because then you can forget poor human management!

You yourselves surely know, brothers, that our visit to you has not been without results. For although we had first suffered and been insolently treated in Philippi, as you know, we mustered up boldness by means of our God to tell you the good news of God in the face of much opposition.

- Paul always reminds us that being a disciple is not a job for tourists! - It must fill our hearts and minds! - We must be 100% active! - It is not when we have time! - It must fill our thoughts! - That’s the only way to get boldness to speak about God's word!

- A certain one of them, their own prophet, said: “Cretans are always liars, injurious wild beasts, idle gluttons.” This witness is true. For this very reason, keep on reproving them with severity so that they may be healthy in the faith, paying no attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. All things are clean to clean people; but to those who are defiled and faithless, nothing is clean, for both their minds and their consciences are defiled. They publicly declare that they know God, but they disown him by their works, because they are detestable and disobedient and not approved for good work of any sort.

- Be healthy in the faith! - That’s a good image! - We should be careful about our faith if we care about it! - That’s the same for our physical and mental health! - Unfortunately the majority forgets about it! - And as a result we get so many diseases! - And the problems occur when people are younger and younger! - Find the error!
