Day 154 – God's Co-Workers and Purgatory

May You Be Content Knowing You Are A Child Of God – Because You Are.

Paul speaks today in some difficult and poetic styled writing. He is trying to make the Corinthians understand that it is not their wisdom, or the wisdom of an eloquent preacher, or the wisdom of a wise ruler that is responsible for their salvation.
