WISDOM?

1 Corinthians 3:18

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

Personal Challenge

We, as a modern and "enlightened" society, act as if we are so wise. Apparently, the people of Paul's day did the same thing. We act as if we have all of the right answers. We condemn others who not believe or behave the way that we expect. However, Paul reminds us that the wisdom that we confess and praise is the wisdom of the world, which pales in comparison to God's wisdom and the wisdom that He will bestow upon us when we are willing to become fools in this world for Him. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
