1 Corinthians 2

Paul disses eloquent speech as a necessity for preaching the gospel, we shouldn't add or subtract, shouldn't twist, only the gospel story in itself saves. We should keep it original! Of course we can use intelligent or different words for its appropriate audience but it should always centre on the purpose and necessity of the cross, it must never deviate. Paul also disses human reasoning, even the religious officials who were supposed to be the wisest men in Israel failed to discern Jesus as the messiah. This proves that only true children of God will be to discern through the Holy Spirit, our salvation is out of our control.  

Prayer/reflection:
- pray for mission team
- don't rely on my own abilities
