Knowing God—A Study in 2nd Corinthians
Moving Beyond Knowledge into Experience—
Igniting the Tinder of Truth by the Fire of the Spirit
This conference was presented in Northern Virginia February 28–March 2, 2014.
“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,
who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2Co 4:6
Second Corinthians is much more than just a defense and vindication of Paul’s ministry. It expounds the foundation of his life and service in the experiential knowledge of God in all His varied manifestations to Paul. In other words, Paul was who he was, and did what he did, because he continued to grow in his knowledge of God. This knowledge was not merely intellectual or academic. Rather it was essentially experiential, as Paul came to know the living Christ in his daily life.

PowerOfPraise #5
Eight praise languages:
- Repentance (2Ch 20:3)
- Prayer (2Ch 20:5-12)
- Proclamation (2Ch 20:14-16)
- Resting in faith (2Ch 20:17-19)
- Obedience (2Ch 20:20)
- Thanksgiving (2Ch 20:21)
- Singing (2Ch 20:22)
- Giving (2Ch 20:24-28)
We cannot glorify God and ourselves at the same time. We rob God of His glory. Exodus generation never learned to praise God. Joshua leads the younger generation into Jericho. Rahab trusts God, but Achan took some of the plunder. Israel's Army is struck down at AI (Jos 7:5-26). Repentance through praise is necessary (Jos 7:19). Death with repentance is better than life without it. Repentance is return to right thinking (2Co 7:9-13).
Scripture References: Joshua 7:19, Joshua 7:5-26
