Good Monday, today's question on the table asks, why God chose the foolish things of

the world and not the wise and powerful?

Why not use the wealthiest innovators and the smartest geniuses and the most articulate

orders and the world's greatest athlete to most recognizable movie stars to spread

his gospel around the world?

Why does God prefer to choose and use the weak in his mission?

The question comes from a podcast listener by the name of Euclid, who lives in the Philippines.

Hello, Pastor John.

I have given my life to the Great Commission and desire to share the gospel to all nations.

In 1 Corinthians 127, it says that God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise.

God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong.

Here's my question, why didn't God save all the worldly wise to proclaim the gospel

to the whole world?

Wouldn't that have made a faster and greater impact in world evangelization than simply

choosing a bunch of foolish people to do his work?

Well, praise God that he chooses to use his foolish people way.

The answer, the first answer I'd say is the impact of all those wise people, all those

smart people, those intellectual people, those gifted people might have been faster and

might have been outwardly greater, but it wouldn't have been Christianity.

If the Son of God had come into the world as a warrior or a philosopher to impact the world

with his power and his intelligence, the impact would have been quicker and more outwardly

impressive, but it wouldn't have been Christianity.
