Intro: “Let no-one deceive himself…” 1. Don't think too highly of yourselves! (3:18-20) Because God outwits this world's “wisdom” 2. Don't think too highly of human leaders! (3:21-23) Because in Christ every pastor & everything belongs to you all Because in Christ you all belong to God 3. Instead, view human leaders as servants of Christ (4:1-5) o Gospel-stewards who must be faithful o In Christ's judgement alone o Which happens when Christ returns o To reveal the real motives in hearts o And provide grac

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Brad Guck from Perham, MN. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 13:4-5. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. — 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Are you being puffed up—or are you building others up? That is Paul's question. Previously in this letter, he repeatedly used the word physioō (φυσιόω)—"to puff up," to inflate with pride (1 Corinthians 4:6, 4:18–19, 5:2, 8:1). Knowledge puffs up, he said, but love builds up. Now, in chapter 13, he shows us what that looks like. If you want to know whether your motivation is right, don't look at your puffed-up gifts. Look at whether they are building others up. Paul defines the loving use of our gifts—but not the way we expect. He does not start with emotion in this text He starts with restraint. Love is patient. Love is kind. And then he turns negative. Love does not envy. Love does not boast. It is not arrogant. It is not rude. It does not insist on its own way. It is not irritable. It keeps no record of wrongs. The word "arrogant" in this text carries the same idea Paul has been correcting all along—puffed up. Inflated. Swollen with self-importance. This chapter is a direct confrontation with the puffed-up pride behind their spiritual gifts within the church. Corinth envied the visible gifts. They boasted about their spirituality. They divided over leaders. They insisted on their rights. They flaunted freedom. They ranked one another. They were puffed up. And Paul says that none of that builds up. Notice how many of these traits target the ego. Envy compares. Boasting advertises. Arrogance inflates. Rudeness disregards. Insisting on your own way centers your will. Irritability reveals entitlement. Resentment stores ammunition. Love dismantles every one of those. Love does not puff up because it is not focused on self. Love builds up because it is focused on others. Here is the point: you can operate in powerful gifts and still be deeply inflated. But if others are not strengthened, encouraged, and built up through you, it is not love. And without love, nothing else matters. DO THIS: Identify one area where you've been easily irritated or defensive. Instead of protecting your ego, intentionally build someone else up this week—with encouragement, patience, or quiet service. ASK THIS: Am I using my knowledge or gifting in a way that puffs me up—or builds others up? Where is pride disguising itself as conviction? Would those closest to me say I strengthen them—or strain them? PRAY THIS: Lord, expose pride that inflates my ego. Guard me from being puffed up by knowledge, success, or gifting. Make me an instrument of love that builds others up for the glory of Christ. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Humble and Kind"
By Sanford Beattie - We think of leaven as something that causes bread to puff up, because that's what our English word conveys. But the Hebrew and Greek words carry a different meaning, and one that fits better with the symbolism conveyed by Jesus and Paul.

Have you ever felt like you needed to make things happen—because if you didn't, nothing would? Sometimeswhen we see an opportunity or feel a calling, we push forward in our own strength, on our own timeline, and byour own methods. That's exactly what Moses did in the first half of his life. He was highly educated, powerful,and destined for leadership—yet when he rushed God's plan, he ended up running for his life and hiding in thedesert. We all have that temptation to take a “God idea” and carry it out with “me-driven” timing. But when we do, we often leave behind wreckage, regrets, and covered-up consequences. So, how do we avoid getting ahead of God? And what can we learn from Moses' failure and God's grace?THE BIG IDEA: When you're full of self, there's no room for God to move.

(Previously recorded and published on July 9, 2024) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... I believe Jesus comes soon to remove us from this earth and judge us before the judgment seat of God. I am interested in cleaning myself up through God and through doing Bible as led by God as much as possible now before Jesus returns. I pray and read Bible to make adjustments. Prayer: Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

As we continue our time in Corinthians, we see the importance of not making much of man and his philosophies, but to rather meditate on the truth that all things are ours in Christ Jesus.

Questions and Time Stamps: 2:18 Why were you referring to “your” son and “that” grandson? 3:09 How do I work with my ego taking over when I have achieved many goals? 4:51 Does impermanence sometimes frighten you? 6:07 Would you be willing to share some of your experience about the sentence, “As I am, the world becomes.”? 8:12 Is there anything that we can possibly think that is indeed the way we think it is? 9:24 Would you be willing to speak on the process that you use for choosing a dharma name for a student? 11:01 Is there something that scares you? 14:49 How would you work with somebody who cannot physically sew a rakusu (lay robe) because of being disabled? 16:18 How would you feel about me throwing in my sewing skills 16:50 What role does friendliness play in Zen practice? 18:28 What is your take on “false pride”? 19:52 Do you find you can learn more about people in a silent retreat than you can by having a conversation with them?
Humble is the way of God.. Pride can cause one to humble before crowds. Have you ever humbled yourself for God or were you humbled because of pride?Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor. We must be careful to not take from God's Glory. Puffed up, taking what does not belong to us. Always trying to show off in some way when God did it.

Message from Greg Neal on April 7, 2024
This is message 8 in 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 4 Paul is still dealing with the carnality in the church. In addition, the church of Corinth had a huge pride problem. "Puffed up" means "inflated". It is used throughout the book of Corinthians to describe their pride. Pride is having a false view of oneself. Because of this false view it affected their actions.

i haven’t forgotten about the math. do you want to do some quick calculations with me?okay, let’s say i listen to 50 albums per week but i accumulate an additional 40 albums every week that i add to the end of the queue. i currently have 6,450 albums in my queue. how many years will it take for me to catch up and start listening to music as it comes out?is this the correct math?: 50x = 6,450 + 40x ; x = 645 weeks / 52 weeks per year = 12.4 years.well, fart. and listening to 50 per week is a high estimate. dang, i guess maybe i need to be more selective?DOWNLOAD/STREAM RECORDING00:00 (intro by omar)00:20 Butter Boys “Let’s Go!” Butter Boys03:57 Hydropark “Calling” Circuit 206:13 SLOUCHER “Be True” Be True09:41 Ruth Garbus “Grey Sweatshirt” Kleinmeister13:06 Sun Organ “HOLE IN MY HEART” SUN ORGAN16:50 Campfires “Candle Park ” Fare Trax19:10 Tundrastomper “How Very Nice” Clean It Up22:35 Inland Island “Happy Birthday Everyone” Salbum II25:50 anxiety machine “manic impressive” sometimes i am overcome by the idea that everything is ruined29:18 Tweens “Cold Shoulder” Incomplete33:28 Emily’s Sassy Lime “Would-Be Saboteurs” Take Heed Desperate, Scared, But Social34:59 salami rose joe louis “Suddenly” Zdenka 208036:45 Sunny Slopes “Keep” Last Exit For Human Kindness33:39 Indira Valey “Haci Te Vas” Yemas42:24 DUMP HIM “Unimportant” Dykes To Watch Out For44:23 Surfin Serf “On The Run” Surface Terminus47:33 Small Axe “hreem” morning drones51:06 Dadweed “I’m Gonna Live Forever” Mighty, Always53:19 Tim The Mute “Scotland” Welcome To The Sad Cafe57:46 Zach Burba “Love Going Wrong” Your Music60:36 Dreamin Wild “Tova” Heaven in Thirty-Eleven63:42 Future Teens “Alone At A Party” Breakup Season67:35 The Groans “Garden Cat” Earth Dweller69:33 TYLER HOLMES “Everything (Will Be Destroyed)” Devil73:49 boy scouts “In Ya Too” Free Company76:32 False Advertising “You’re Too Slow” Brainless79:20 Fountain “Puffed Up” Laughing Through Traffic82:12 Meh “Cycles” Red Kite Crane83:57 Planted “To Music” Pop Music87:23 BOY HARSHER “Westerners” Country Girl Uncut

Everyone wants to grow or mature. Christians should want to grow spiritually. But the question is always, how do we grow? Paul shows us in Colossians 2:18-19 the thing of the most importance in our spiritual growth.
I discuss self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-compassion and show how each relates to charity.
281 In this episode, I talk about several different topics and use examples of what God is not and does not do.One of the examples is love is not "puffed up" and does not parade itself.

David Casson joins Dillon and Michael to discuss how to answer the claim that the Bible should not be followed because it is internally inconsistent, the use of circular reasoning in proving any ultimate authority, and dealing with arrogant Christians. Does the Bible tell Christians to love their neighbors, but then turn around and tell them to hate or even kill certain other kinds of people? Isn't it a problem that you can't use the scientific method to prove that the Bible is true? How do you deal with arrogant Reformed people and not become like them ourselves?If you have questions you would like “Have You Not Read?” to tackle, please submit them at the link below:https://www.ssbcokc.org/have-you-not-read/
