Today I was reading 1 Cor chapter 1 and found something interesting.
Paul one of the best theologian, known in that time, is speaking that he is not going to speak from the wisdom of words. Instead he is going to preach that glorifies the meaning and purpose of Cross.

1 Cor 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
1 Cor 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Many times we see the messages that come from pulpit are based on only one thing "words of wisdom that are good for the ears of people" and most often these words are no good for the heart.

Paul makes a determination and expresses that determination time and again that he is not going to speak from his own wisdom instead he is going to make sure that he has heard it from the Lord and heard it correct.
