1 Corinthians 2:5 (AMPC):"So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God."
Paul was addressing people who were caught up in a society that was saturated with all kinds of human philosophy and thought processes that encouraged people to seek out knowledge above all else to solve their problems, and enrich their personal and professional lives. Here he was, a learned man himself, facing a crowd of well-educated people who were waiting for a new scope of philosophy that would enlighten them. But he made it clear: what he was presenting to them was far more than another human philosophy; he was presenting them the tangible power of God. Today we are even more inundated with society's quest for knowledge, and it's more available and accessible than ever before. Remember, Paul wasn't teaching against acquiring knowledge; rather, he was against using human understanding and philosophy to answer the questions and moral dilemmas we face in society. Through His Word and Spirit, God will impart all the power and wisdom we need to overcome every situation in life.
