Foolish WisdomMessy Church – Loving Others Isn’t Easy
February 9, 2020
When you need an answer, some advice or counsel, where do you turn? These days it seems our first instinct is to just “Google it” when we’re looking for information. But how do you know whether the information you find is good, or even true? Whose insights, experience, and wisdom do you trust?
As we continue in our series, Messy Church, the Apostle Paul writes to the church at Corinth about the difference between human wisdom and God’s wisdom. It seems that most of the time what seems wise to our human way of thinking is very often quite the opposite. Paul writes, “The foolish plan of God is far wiser than the wisest of human plans; and God’s weakness is far stronger than the greatest of human strength.” The “truths” of this world are ever shifting and rarely stable; a shaky foundation to build a life on. We are looking for biblical wisdom, for solid truth that is firmly established in an unchanging, ever faithful God. The kind of truth that transforms lives and secures futures.
