SHAMING THE WISE? I Cor 1:26-27 In todays culture, these words are tough teaching for parents! We long for our children to be wise by human standards just look at the emphasis we put on grades, test scores, and college acceptance as measures of success and worth. We revel in achievements that put them in positions of influence such as cheerleader, student government, or captain of a team. We may envy the opportunities available to other children due to their familys wealth or social position. While God calls us to use our minds to make wise choices, no amount of human knowledge can replace Christs work on the cross. Ironically, real strength and wisdom are found by surrendering our pride and coming to God in humility and weakness. Teach your children that real strength comes by submitting to God and humbling yourself before others.
