1 Corinthians Study: Christ Crucified is God's Power and Wisdom

1 Corinthians Study: Christ Crucified is God's Power and Wisdom:
S: 1:18 For the cross of Christ is foolishness to those who are perishing but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
O: It's funny how sometimes the more we know the less we know or how a situation can be in our clear sight but we cannot see it.
A: It seems we have an integrity crisis with our elected leader/officials. What is more disturbing is that they don't see the wrongness with what they have done. They totally deny their actions and do not fully accept the consequences of their choices. In matters of our faith we can fall into this same trap. Realizing that all the good that is in us and the power that we have been enabled with come from the saving work of Christ.
P: Lord, Help me balance the freedom that I have in you, with the power you have given me. Not that I should boast in anything that I do, but what You do through me. Help me to be bold in the matters that you place before me and to fully accept the consequences of my choices. Not that I would run after the wisdom of this world but rather stand firm in the hope that I have in you.
