TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 15: 35-58 35.  But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up?

Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2. by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you -- unless you believed in vain. 3. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5.  and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6.  After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 7.  After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. 8.  Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of d...

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: THURSDAY, 30TH MARCH, 2023  TOPIC: GOD OF ORDERLINESS TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 14: 21-40 21.  In the law it is written: "With [men of] other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me," says the Lord. 22.  Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe. 23.  Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in [those who are] uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind? 24.  But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all. 25.  And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on [his] face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you. ...
