    The Foolish Wisdom Of God

    At first blush, God’s wisdom seems so elementary, so foolish even. We as humans love to debate and create big complicated philosophies. Instead, the Apostle Paul shows us how to simplify our understanding to know the REAL wisdom of God.

This fact is essential to a proper understanding of ...read more
