grace

i have been thinking a lot about what was told in church and also what i heard from my friend. church pastor said, if you are not bright student or a successful person in life, don't take the trouble in spreading the gospel. message from Failed person does harm to the message. In fact the pastor suggested that these failure people to call themself as mormon or muslim.

I have great respect for these two people. I have a issue with what they talked because their view is a poor understanding of God's Grace.

If you read 1 corinthians 1, you know what i am talking.

They (pastor and friend) judged themself to be more holy/successful then others and they can spread the gospel where as failed people should not.

Why pride a big sin?. Why is God against it. I will be mad if someone copy my idea/work/efforts and say it as theirs. Same is what happens with people of pride. They receive grace from God and say it is their efforts. they are better student at school because of Grace of God. They have success in work because of God's grace. The main component in their success is Grace of God. It is not their brain in preaching or the efforts they put in it.

So don't take their advice. Take this from me. If the world considers you a fool, you are the perfect person to spread the gospel. Or if you consider yourself a fool, then you are a perfect messenger of the gospel.

What the world considers as best brains are not really the best. What the world consider as successful person are not really successful ones.

you may think what type of complex i am having. why does he call himself a fool?. When compared to His wisdom, there can be nobody with anything of it. Just like a drop of water is nothing compared to a sea/ocean, our understanding of anything is nothing when compared to infinite wisdom.
