Yesterday, I watched an episode of Morgan Freeman's "Through the wormhole" which addressed the topic of human intelligence. Are we progressing as a species? Good question! Children today grow up knowing far more than I ever did at their age. The cute little picture at the top testifies to this fact. But, WHAT do they know: technical matters? What about God; is HE in their future? Our society is gradually attempting to remove God and put in HIS place a world dominated by one atheistic world government. Like Rome of the past, there undoubtedly will be some advancements, but at the cost of how many unregenerated souls? Yet, for all the advancement of mankind, God is of an entirely different order. He, and only HE knows who will listen to HIS WORD and be saved. And the blessings of those who will listen are beyond imagining...
2 Corinthians, Chapter 2
1 When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written,
“Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear,
which didn’t enter into the heart of man,
these God has prepared for those who love him.”
"Grandma" may not know how to use a computer as well as a toddler, but she probably knows the creator of the universe. Ask yourself: which knowledge will be most useful to me in one hundred and fifty years? I think you already know my answer!!!
