1 Corinthians 2:1-9
When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.
None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”—the things God has prepared for those who love him.
Their argumentative, judgmental attitude shows they are still bound by the world's way of thinking. They stand in need of teaching. They have to be reminded that human cleverness is a far cry from God's wisdom.
Why?
The real wisdom is not the wisdom of the world but comes from the Lord. It does not come with eloquence or human wisdom.
Even we have faith in Jesus is not resting on human wisdom but on God's power. So no one can boast in himself, but give glory and honor to the Lord.

傳福音不是用戶智慧的言語。保羅不去用高深學問來講訊息,或是華麗言詞,或是精彩演講。不希望人跟從保羅而要人跟隨耶穌。希望人不是被我吸引,而是被神的道所吸引!人沒有可以誇口的,所以不應該有結黨分派!
我們以為在堅持真理,其實只在堅持自己的成見。
有人說神為什麼不要……不要……神若是存在為什麼不出來給我看一下,神為什麼要出來給你看?這個國家有總統嗎?有,總統可以讓我看一看嗎?總統為什麼要出來給你看?
神的智慧是要人得榮耀,人是有限的,人不能判斷神,為什麼要犧牲弟兄?
我不也是因為神的呼召來到宏閩,豈可因為一時的情緒忘記神的帶領與使命?

How?
I can do nothing without the Lord for I am little without the Lord. Be humble always in my living every day.
