Life Giving Foolishness 


“For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” - 1 Corinthians 1:18


The so called wisdom of the world has us killing ourselves and each other. The message of the cross in Paul’s thinking is one in which we crucify our old patterns of thought and behavior. This makes space for the Spirit to resurrect and recreate us. We are freed from the slavery of old ways of life. (Romans 6:6)


In particular, (based on Galatians 5) we stop clout chasing (idolatry and sorcery) where we look for money, power, and status to deliver us. 


We stop trying to find our solace in sex, drugs, and alcohol. These can distract and comfort for a while but never bring us peace.


We give up our anger, hatred, and jealousy. These can fuel our fires for a while but they only end up consuming us and never bring us joy. 


Practicing radical love, compassion, and forgiveness is foolish to those who are being killed by conventional thinking and living. But we know that in these we find the life giving power of God. 


I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
