“What were the names of the husband-and-wife team he met in Corinth?” (source)
“The practical need for spiritual purity and power to overcome ‘the world, the flesh, and the devil’ is equally evident then and now. As a wealthy commercial center and port city on the southern tip of Greece, Corinth was known for its great temple of Aphrodite (the Greek goddess of love), with its 1,000 ritual priestess-prostitutes. The immoral conditions of Corinth are vividly seen in the fact that the Greek term Korinthiazomai (literally, ‘to act the Corinthian’) came to mean ‘to practice fornication.’ Corinth was noted for its carnality.” (source)
“ASK in faith. Meet the Lord Jesus at a new dimension, as the mighty Baptizer with the Holy Spirit” (source)
“When divorce occurs between professing believers, someone is in clear disobedience to God’s Word and will. The Christian marriage was meant for life (1 Cor. 7:39). It is to illustrate to the world the commitment and love of Jesus for His bride, the church (Eph. 5:24, 25, 32).” (source)
“The ‘Gift behind the gifts’ is the Holy Spirit, the Promise of the Father (Luke 24:49; John 14:26). The Spirit was given to influence us, to indwell us, and to empower us.” (source)
