The foolishness of the church: A word of my own doing, but something I imagine Paul might say if He would live today. Maybe not, but I thought it worth a third part of my series on foolishness and wisdom. Wonder what it’s about? Here it goes.
Paul also talks about the foolishness of the gospel. Now that seems even more baffling. But I must say, I agree with Paul, the gospel does sound foolish somehow. So here goes my thoughts on the foolishness of the gospel.
In 1 Corinthians, Paul talks about the foolishness of this world. Have you ever wondered what exactly that means? Or what that would look like today? Read on.
In this new year, as Christmas is over, I need to remember that Christmas was only the beginning. I want to remember that Jesus will always bring light to my darkness, and that darkness brought to light will always bring relief.
There is a light that let’s darkness disappear. It’s not always easy. But the hope of His light always makes our situations better. That is the wonder of Christmas.
There are days and times when the darkness within me seems to weight me down. Times, when life seems void of any light at all, where finding light seems impossible. But there is a light, which gives us hope. Even on those days.
Isaiah says something that is as timely for us today as it was for the people He talked to back then. He tells us what the focus on in the midst of difficulties.
Sometimes, we speak harsh words, quick words, painful words that leave us dumbfounded. Sometimes, words like these hurt us. Sometimes, we hurt others with words like these. But in the midst of such pain, we find hope in Jesus.
Wherever people are, we collide. We have disagreements and misunderstandings. But no matter how much I fail to love them despite it, no matter how big of a mess I create, God is always greater than it all.
