    Flesh or Spirit?

    Persuasive Words or Spirit Power? And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

    I felt the need to ramble again. I've been hurting, because of some things that happened, but God has been encouraging me, both in His Spirit and through some people on this forum. Praise Him! I always feel better after talking about God. I've rarely been rebuked by other Christians for...
