The Weapons Of God

So, you might ask hey Podcast Preacher when are you going to finish your top ten messages? And I would say eventually, but because time does not stand still and I try with everything in me to provide “right now” needed messages to my listeners and doers, and God is the decisive one in whom I try and follow. My past looks like the Mulholland drive as I tried to as much as I could be the Christian I was called to be. I will tell you now, that, no doubt many of my listeners are stronger Christians than I. God didn’t reveal this Podcast opportunity to the most qualified. Hey, I didn’t even know what a Podcast was, when I got the word to launch it by three different people. So, but also so that you do not underestimate my calling and purpose, God uses people like me to do the extraordinary, and I know I better place a reference least some of you think I just fell into pride:
1 Cor 1:18-31 - 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
How can someone who depends on their degree and higher education understand this without some level of feeling some futility in the whole educational mess. I am not against schooling, just the institutions that are not really in it to equip all people in their strengths and talents equipping them to be the best version of themselves.
20 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? 21 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. 22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
