Message of the Day: Genuine Learning and Scholarship Result in Humility and Broadmindedness!
“But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthian 2:9, NKJV)

Egoists who claimed to be philosophers dominated Athens. Its spirit penetrated the church in Corinth because of their proximity. Paul on the other hand, was learned university man, an outstanding scholar of his era, yet he despised any academic or narrow display of scholarship. He insisted that genuine learning and scholarship result in humility and broadmindedness toward the unschooled.
Lack of this “genuine learning and scholarship” (genuine wisdom) caused people to crucify Christ while those who have it receive blessings such as those mentioned above.
