Consequently

"So that your faith would be in God's power, not in men's wisdom," 1 Corinthians 2:5.

So that. (?) The phrase - So that - emphasizes that the next thought hangs on something said earlier. OK. So what was said earlier? Well, a couple of things. Thing One: Know nothing except the preaching of Jesus Christ crucified. Thing Two: Demonstration of the Spirit and of power. So, we hear the preaching that God worked through the cross of Christ and we recognize God's power to save us in it. In consequence, our faith rests in that message. Not in a skillful sales speech closing. Consequently. So that. Faith in God. not in man.

We visit with a brother or sister today resting in the power of God's cross. And together we give thanks for the announcement telling us that God worked in Christ.
