Plethora of railroad related information in this video. Information parts start around seven minutes into the video. So sorry for the blustery wind sounds and being bouncy. Thanks for encouraging me to get out!

The Rise of Locomotive "Vandalism" | V12 Productions

In this video, we'll examine some of the locomotive "nose jobs" that have been appearing over the last five years. Colorful graffiti on trains isn't uncommon, but some of these paint jobs are in a gray area.

For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

It is true that the sheer unadorned story of the life of Jesus has in it a unique power to move the hearts of men. Dr. James Stewart quotes an example. The Christian missionaries had come to the court of Clovis, the king of the Franks. They told the story of the Cross, and, as they did, the hand of the old king stole to his sword hilt. "If I and my Franks had been there," he said, "we would have stormed Calvary and rescued him from his enemies." When we deal with ordinary, untechnical people, a vivid, factual picture has a power that a close knit argument lacks. For most people, the way to the recesses of a man's inmost being lies, not through his mind, but through his heart.

Paul offered the example of his preaching among the Corinthians as a further illustration of what the wisdom of God can do in contrast to what the words that humans regard as wisdom can do.

"The matters of literary context and the continuity of the argument are all important in understanding 1 Corinthians 2. Otherwise, much of the chapter reads like pure gnosticism, and Paul is made the advocate of a private religion reserved for the spiritual elite (1 Corinthians 2:6-16)." [Note: Charles B. Cousar, "Expository Articles: 1 Corinthians 2:1-13," Interpretation 44:2 (April 1990):169.]
