"For
since, in the wisdom of God, the
world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through
the foolishness of the message preached to
save those who believe.
"For
Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after
wisdom;
"but we
preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling
block and to the Greeks [fn]
foolishness,
"but to
those who are called, both Jews and Greeks,
Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
"Because the foolishness of
God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God
is stronger than men."
1
Corinthians 1:21-25
"...Let
God be true, and every man a liar. As it is
written: "So that you may be proved right when
you speak and prevail when you judge." [fn]
Romans
3:4 NIV
"For no matter how many

2 Cor
1:20 NIV
"Humble
yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty
hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
"Cast
all your anxiety on him because he cares for
you.
"Be
self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the
devil prowls around like a roaring lion
looking for someone to devour.
"Resist
him, standing firm in the faith, because you
know that your brothers throughout the world
are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
"And
the God of all grace, who called you to his
eternal glory in Christ, after you have
suffered a little while, will himself restore
you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
"To him
be the power for ever and ever. Amen."
1 Peter
5:6-11 NIV
Now to him who is
able to keep you from falling and to present
you without blemish before the presence of
his glory with rejoicing, to the only God,
our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord,
be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority,
before all time and now and for ever. Amen.
(Jude 24,25)
So, you want a
revival, do you? Well, glory to God,
it's going to start on April Fool's Day, when
nobody's looking. Is this what you were
looking for, lj?
