It is not for us to imagine that we can prove the truth of Christianity by our own arguments; nobody can prove the truth of Christianity save the Holy Spirit. ---- J. I. Packer
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God (I Corinthians 1:21-24).
And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom, but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. (I Corinthians 2:13,14)
A hymn to read, sing, hum, or whistle to the glory of God: Break Thou the Bread of Life.
"Break Thou the bread of life, dear Lord, to me , as Thou didst break the loaves beside the sea; throughout the sacred page I seek Thee, Lord, my spirit pants for Thee, O living Word."
