Deep Stuff

Perry Noble had a good blog yesterday that came to mind again last evening as I met with my Community Group. It seems that mankind hasn't changed much. Some people are caught up in looking for "signs" while other people are intrigued with "knowledge" and mysteries. Some are so focused on what they consider "deeper" things that they overlook the deepest thing that God is doing. God is changing lives!

Paul, the apostle, reminded the Corinthian church that God's deeper stuff is seen in the lives of those who put their trust in Him. Check it out:

"Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For indeed Jews ask for signs, and Greeks search for wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks , Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." 1 Corinthians 1:20-25

I am witnessing the power of God in the lives of people at the Bible study I attend on Tuesdays and at the Community Group I attend on Thursday nights. I see God at work all around me and am discovering deep truths as I search the Scriptures each day.

Reading a chapter of Proverbs a day and then doing some cross referencing on some verses that jump out is deep stuff. But the truly deep stuff is the power of God and the wisdom of God seen in the people who have put their trust in Him."

The real deep stuff is seen in "Changing Lives that Change the World." Look around you. Do you see God at work in people? Is He at work in you? Check out 2 Corinthians 5:17. His work in people is exciting stuff! Get engaged in this and you will never feel "under-fed" again.
