Free Bible Study: 1st Corinthians
Paul believed it was a privilege to preach the Gospel. He had to do it, because like Jeremiah the Prophet he had a burning fire that would not allow him to do anything else: “Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay” (Jer 20:9; KJV).

Many Christians have either heard or sung, “Lord, I Lift Your Name on High.” It was written by Rick Founds in 1989 and has since become one of the best-known and well-loved praise songs in the world. This beautiful chorus provides a clear summary of the gospel and offers a natural response of adoration for what God has done. Although Founds has written nearly five hundred praise songs, this song has one of the most interesting stories. He developed a unique habit of playing his guitar while reading the Bible. He just plunks along a tune that seems to go along with whatever he’s reading. On this particular morning he was marveling at God’s love for rebellious, fallen humanity. Suddenly, the now famous chorus emerged: “You came from heaven to earth to show the way . . . From the earth to the cross my debt to pay . . . From the cross to the grave . . . From the grave to the sky . . .” Now people around the world give musical expression to their love for God because a guy who does research and development at a fiber optics company took the time to let God’s Word become living and active.
