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.

Biblical Chivalry #2

Biblical Chivalry #2

Act 13:22 Rebellion to proper authority is rebellion against GOD. David - a man after GOD’s heart. Eph 5:25-28 Goals for husbands. Starting point of loving your wife (as your own body): feed, protect, adorn, stimulate (mental, physical, and soul), and rest. David is a role model for men. The difference between David and others is David was always aiming for the goal. That goal is GOD’s idea of a man. Our manners should always pass inspection as if we were in a king’s court. During the barbarism of Feudalism from 600-1100 a.d., the idea of Chivalry resulted from a small group of knights who studied scripture. Chivalry is a code of conduct. Biblical chivalry is a code of character, a study for battle, a guide for romance. 1Ch 16:13-14 vigilance, stand firm, be a man, be strong, love. Gen 5:6 man after the fall. 1Pe 2:7 men should be warrior heroes, a protector of a wife’s soul. Adam had a message to tell, a world to tend, an enemy to conquer. A man is prophet, priest, kingship, and warrior. Gen 3:14 3 arenas: world, home (Gen 4:7), and inner life. Act 13:22 a man is responsible. 1Ki 2:1-46 biblical character, man in relationship, man in battle.

From Series: "Biblical Chivalry"

Men are to have a battle a romance and victory. Chivalry defined 'a knight' gentlemen in the highest sense of the word. Chivalry is a code of conduct containing courage honor and readiness. Our role from GOD is to be a man with courage endurance and love!
