"But it wasn't by any fancy footwork on our part" ~~Apostle Paul

Paul depended on Jesus and the Holy Spirit to speak about the Good News. He depended on Jesus completely. While he could be eloquent, he learned that it wasn't of any use. He must have the power of GOD. That is all that matters. Speaking with the power of the resurrected Jesus.

Can I not rely on myself and depend on Jesus?

"What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn't treat him like God...." ~~Apostle Paul

We all know GOD exists. Sure, there are some atheist but they are really kidding themselves. So lets not think about that. We know there is a GOD. Here is the big question. Do we treat Him like GOD? Think about it. GOD is GOD. GOD is great. GOD is good. We "know it". Do we believe Him?

If we don't treat him like GOD, GOD says, in effect, "If that's what you want, that's what you get." This is a case of be careful what you ask for.
