Weakness - Comtempt and Foolishness

Weakness, Contempt and Foolishness

(Idea – See if you can come up with an acronymn for this title that spells W.A.R.)

1.Weakness

            God ways are not ours and often His choices have been to use weakness to give           Him glory.  (scripture)

2.  Contempt. 

            Often we find that the way the Lord wants to do things to be the hard way.  Thus,         

            we find his ways contemptible. (Mal)

3. Foolishness.

            The Bible says that many find the message of the Cross foolishness.  And the                 danger of our age is to try and figure out, from an evangelistic standpoint, how do

            we strategically craft the message in a way that it won’t be foolish to those                     that may be perishing.

            - Matthew 16
            23Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling     block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."
