There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word. Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.

Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share a full-length Bible message given through Scott's pulpit ministry. These messages were recorded live in a local church or gospel event in recent days. It is our prayer that the message will be a help to you today. Let's open the scriptures together tonight again to 1 Corinthians chapter number four

and we're going to pick up right where we left off last evening.

How many of you remember Paul Harvey?

Would you raise your hand, please?

He just told your age, didn't you?

And I used to love listening to Paul Harvey on the radio.

Nobody could tell a story like Paul Harvey could,

and he would always build to that dramatic Paul's and say,

and now for what?

You did know him, the rest of the story.

That's what we're going to get tonight, the rest of the story.

But if you'll permit me, I want to back up and read the opening verses of this chapter that we've

looked at already.

In fact, we began at the end of chapter 3 because it all goes together.

And we learned in the close of 1 Corinthians 3 that all things are yours, all are yours.

Aren't you glad for all that God has given to us?

And in light of that, our response to that revelation is, verse 1, let a man so account of us we're looking here at heaven's accounting

principles that's that's what it is the lord's ways are higher than our ways his thoughts are

higher than our thoughts back home people would use the word figure they would say well i figured that well you know the

reality is sometimes we don't figure it right our math is off our our accounting principles don't

line up with the lords and so what the holy ghost of god is doing he's bringing us back to center
