God's Choice of the Weak and Foolish to Confound the Wise and Mighty
1 Corinthians 1:25-28
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.…


Dr. Vinton was a sceptical physician. A friend advised him to read "Butler's Analogy," which satisfied his reason. A short time after he was called to the dying bed of a little girl who whispered that she had something to say to him, that she hardly had the courage, as it was about his peace with God; but she added, "To-morrow morning, when I am stronger, I will tell you." And on to-morrow morning she was dead. This led to Dr. Vinton's conversion, and a grand life in the ministry was the result. Who shall deny that "God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty"?

(Bp. Phillips Brooks.)
