To the world, the Message of the Cross is foolishness…and the Good News of the Gospel is only for those who need a crutch to make it through life. But to God, it’s the wisdom of the world that’s truly foolish. For the carnal wisdom of this age is more about seeking justification through our own efforts rather than seeking the truth…of putting our trust in mortal man rather than trusting God…and of failing the maturity to be able to distinguish good from evil. Spiritual maturity is something every Christian should be striving for…for with this maturity comes divine understanding of God’s truth and attainment of the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (Ephesians 4:13)
