God's Choosing of Nothings

Take a look around Paul says. Any one from a high social standing here is an exception to the rule. God chose you. God chose us. Not because of our merits and standing but because of His love and mercy. Why divide up now on supposed merits and standing?

Lets make some simple applications:
1. Don't promote Christianity or the church with celebrities. Put forth Christ…broken, battered, bleeding, dying, rising again for sinners who have no other hope.
2. Don't seek the company of intellects and social movers and shakers and the sons of the great in a quest for significance. Release yourself into the company of wretches who have been found by amazing grace. Don't misunderstand me… don't make a new class of being wretched as if that were something to boast in. Boast only in this… God has an answer for wretched sinners.
