The Peace of the Holy Spirit
We don't have to be afraid because of outer circumstances or trials we face. The Holy Spirit brings peace through loving obedience, learning from Him and Jesus Himself. True peace comes from the presence of the Holy Spirit available to us continually.

Spirituality and Wisdom
Paul challenges Corinthian Christ-followers to look around the church and observe that those most esteemed by the world are strangely absent in the church. By and large, the church is not composed of wise men, scholars, and debaters of the day. The church is not made up of the cultural elite. In I Cor 1:26-31, Paul urges them to look around the church to see who is present. The church is not made up of the upper crust of society but rather the rejected and despised of society. Of course there are exceptions, but the rule is clear. The world regards God’s wisdom as foolish because it is incapable of comprehending or accepting His truth. God’s wisdom is a mystery which outsiders cannot grasp, and no one would have known apart from divine revelation.

Real Spirituality
God is seeking balance in our lives. He obviously care are about our worship, our learning from His Word and sharing life together. But that isn't the end of true spirituality. When we truly worship God, our hearts are captured by the things that matter to God...and God cares about the poor, the oppressed and the outcast. We must learn from Amos and begin to act in ways that will bring justice for those who are marginalized.
