A 7-year-old boy's mother asked him what he learned in Sunday school. He said, "Well, Mom, today we learned about the time when Moses was leading the people of Israel out of captivity in Egypt across the Red Sea. They got there at the Red Sea, and Moses realized the Israelites couldn't make their way over. So he asked the Israeli corp of engineers if they would erect a pontoon bridge over the Red Sea, and all the people of Israel walked over that pontoon bridge. But when the Egyptians got there, they had their tanks and their guns and all their heavy artillery, and they sank in the mud. So Moses had the Israeli air force come over, and they bombed them and they wiped out all the Egyptians." Well, the mother was horrified. She said, "Is that what they taught you in Sunday school this morning?" He said, "Well, not exactly. But if I told you what our teacher told us, you'd never believe it."
27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 1 Corinthians 1:27-30 (NIV)
