Episode 3: The Foolishness That Shames the Wise


Why did God design the gospel to look moronic? Greek word mōria means foolishness—literally "moronic" to the intellectual. 1 Corinthians 1:18-29 reveals the cross wasn't Plan B—it was engineered to disqualify the Greeks seeking wisdom and the Jews seeking power. God unplugs your intellect (katargeō = render inoperative) so you run on His power instead. Knowledge puffs up like a balloon; love builds like a structure. The litmus test: Does your theology make you feel smart or small? Episode 3 of 15 in Phase 1: Personal Idols.
