Greetings Bible Enthusiast!


1 Corinthians 1:20-25

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.


May we always preach Christ crucified, and rely on the power and wisdom of God, regardless of how the world sees (and judges) us!

God Bless You!

--TODAY'S BIT OF WISDOM/REFLECTION:

"I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." The man who believes this has calm quiet confidence, but, because his confidence is based upon God's power and not his own power, there is never the slightest speck of egotism.
