“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<\/em>” (I Corinthians 1:20-25).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Like the Jews of old, you aren’t satisfied to read the message God left for all mankind. You want something more and something unique to yourself. But that isn’t how God operates.<\/p>\n
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek<\/em>” (Romans 1:16).<\/p>\n
“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God<\/em>” (Romans 10:17).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
