(1 Corinthians 1:17-18 & 20-21& 23-25 ) For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greek foolishness; But unto them which 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.
I know I have said it before, but once again, I apologize for the poor quality of some of these photos. No matter how many times I take them in all different kinds of light, they still look dark and blurry. The next time we have a sunny day outside (which still may be awhile) I will try taking some photos outside in natural light.
(1 Corinthians 2:4-5 & 7-10) And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
But as it is written, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
