1 Corinthians 1:18-24 |
For the word of the cross is folly to those who are
perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of
God. For it is written,
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart."
Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is
the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom
of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world
did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the
folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews
demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ
crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,
but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ
the power of God and the wisdom of God.
(ESV)

Please keep the Roth family in your prayers. Sue said
that both Gary's father and her mother failed heart stress
tests on the same day. Gary's dad, Herman is scheduled
for open heart surgery this coming Monday, and Sue's mom,
Evelyn, is waiting on results from a heart cath. When
such concerns come in such unpredictable ways, we call
upon the Word of our Lord who is reliable, strong, and
wise. The wisdom and love of Christ sustain the children
of God.
