What is your foundation ?

1 Cor 1:1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Today there are many different theologies. Many different opinions. And we like to convince people of our doctrine. Our theology. But Paul said when he came to the Corinthians, he did not come with his wisdom or excellency of speech. Not because he didn’t have wisdom. Not because he didn’t know how to speak. But because he knew the foundation of peoples faith should not be on his wisdom or theology. But rather a personal experience with God. He does make it clear that wisdom, and theology are important. Doctrine is very important. But it shouldn’t come first. When someone’s heart has stopped, the first you do is heart compression. When the heart beats, you can start thinking on other things. Paul said I first came with POWER and demonstration. Then later with wisdom. When he found some disciples in Ephesus, the FIRST thing he asks them is: Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed.

Is your faith founded on the wisdom of men, or have you been born again with the POWER of the Holy Ghost?
