1 Corinthians 3:7 (NLT)

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes, and He is the One to whom we are accountable.

"for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake."  1 Thessalonians 1:5 (NASB)

Not just in word. Really?

Power???

The Holy Spirit AND full conviction???

So where exactly is this at?

I'm not seeing it here locally; how about you?

"For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power."  1 Corinthians 4:20 (NASB)
