 Writing to the church in Corinth, the Apostle Paul said, Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you are wise in the world's eyes or powerful or wealthy when God calls you. Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. Paul concludes, as a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God. If we want to be used by God or any capacity, we must be faithful.
