1 Corinthians 3:18-19 Do not deceive yourselves

1 Corinthians 3:18-19
"Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight."

Lest we think we are too smart...
we don't really know as much as we think we do.
Little knowledge is always dangerous especially if we do not have the full picture
How many of us truely see the whole picture
As our vision is restricted to our own little world
We need to be more open to learn more to understand more
And to know our own limitations.
Only God can truly see the whole picture
To understand the vastness of the universe.

John 14:6 I am the way and the truth and the life

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).

A sobering thought. Recently my girlfriend's mum pass away and I have to wonder what has become of her. Having being brought up in a Buddhist family and having believed this all her life, was there any hope for her ? For Buddhist believe that doing good during their life time will allow them to have a better future which is totally at a tangent to Christianity. For us there is only way and that is through Jesus Christ. That is laid out in black and white as the lawyers would quote. No compromise.

There is no such thing as selling the deceased belongings and donating it to charities to push the soul to a higher plane. It always falls short.

The differences were very stark to me...it is something others find it hard to understand.
Sometimes we as Christians also do not really understand and try to do it on their own.
We need to understand this in order to share the true way with others.
