Wisdom and Folly

About this episode

This episode explores the contrast between worldly wisdom and God's wisdom as discussed in I Corinthians.

Where is the debater of this age? All over the internet, apparently. The Apostle Paul would not be impressed, and neither should you. If the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God, how much more its folly! In the meanwhile, however, there is the real and contentious question of what, exactly, makes for God's wisdom and God's strength. Hint: if the answer does not include the cross of Christ, it fails the test. In this episode, Dad and I talk our way carefully through I Corinthians 1, 2, and a bit of 3 to discover how the foolishness of God exceeds human wisdom. We're in our EIGHTH year!And you still haven't backed us? Now that is the wrong kind of foolishness. Show your support by becoming a Patron!
