What does Paul not come with when he preaches?
When Paul preaches, he does not come with the approval of philosophers, the wisdom of this world, or the attributes of princes and nobility. He comes with the simple gospel of the cross, not with human wisdom or worldly status.
Les explains that Paul did not come with the approval of the philosophers on Mars Hill, nor with the wisdom of this world, nor with the attributes of the princes and nobility of this world. Instead, he came with the simple gospel of the cross. That gospel has not lost its power; it is the power of the Word of God and the work of the Holy Spirit, transforming lives. Paul speaks the wisdom of God in a mystery, a secret that goes back to Deuteronomy 29:29.
