As much as our culture, or we, might try, to remove it as a barrier...as much as the world might like to make it into only a symbol, and rob it of its eternal meaning, the cross is irreducible. It’s irreducible in time. It’s irreducible in eternity.

The Irreducible Cross TCF Good Friday sermon March 25, 2005 I found this quote a few weeks ago in an article on a very popular TV preacher.

Paul reminds the Corinthians of his manner of preaching when he came to their city. His example is an excellent one for all present-day preachers.

“The foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom” (1:25). Of course God is never foolish. But to the human mind, He appears to be foolish.

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