Free Bible Study: 1^st  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).

Several years ago, Success magazine reported on a Gallup poll that sought to define success. The people’s responses fell into twelve categories. Topping the dozen definitions was “good health.” of those surveyed 58 percent equated good health with success. Good health is to be valued and never taken for granted, but success is far more than dodging the doctor’s office. The Bible doesn’t speak of success in terms of health. Jesus said, “By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples” (John 15:8).
