1 Corinthians 14:33, God Is Not the Author of Confusion

1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV) 33  For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

The Lord seeks order in the church. He is not the author of confusion. When a meeting of God’s people degenerates into a state of pandemonium and disorder, surely it is not in order and God is surely not approving of it. The responsibility is therefore upon the church to practice orderly behaviour during public meetings. Whether on the matter concerning the interpretation of a foreign language or proclamation of prophecy, there is a place for the orderly use of these gifts so that the congregation can benefit.

The proper order will bring peace in the churches and allow God’s people to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. When gifts are properly administered to build up the faith of God’s people, God is glorified and His kingdom work advanced.

May the Lord bless His church with peace growing in an orderly manner. Amen.
