     | 10,663 views

    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.

    based on 10 ratings
     | 12,597 views

    Christianity differs from all religions in that it’s not about us finding God, but about us responding to God who has been reaching out to us.
