"I Pitty the Fool" Mr. T
There are days when I seem so foolish- esp. about the culture and the language. I make myself look like such a goober some days. This got me thinking about what the scripture says:
18For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19For it is written, "I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE."
20Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
22For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom;
23but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness,
24but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;
27but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong,
28and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are,
29so that no man may boast before God.
30But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
31so that, just as it is written, "LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."
1st Corinthians 1:18-31
So glad that in my weakness He is stronger (see 2nd Cor. 12:7-11)and that His ways and thought are higher than mine (see Is. 55- what a promise!). May we follow the example of King David and be undignified (see 2nd Sam 6:22)! So here's where the title comes into play...as I was thinking about this it made me think of the Mr. T video to the song of that verse, a flashback of sorts to my last summer in St. Louis and thus the title.

My pastor said last night that he found your site one day. He does not know how he got here but he said he was trying to read my blog and got to you. He's trying but has not totally got the computer thing down.
