1Co 1:26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.John of Japan said:
1Co 1:27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;

"If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then nothing is too hard for me to do for Him."--C. T. Studd, missionary to India, China and Africa.

He suggested we should have said "Sho' nuff" instead of "I do!" Brother J. B. Williams of Baptist Mid-Mission suggested we should have said, "Ah does."
