"I already believe something' is not a good reason to continue believing it. You need better reasons, ones that are grounded in objective facts."
Convincing someone of the truth is difficult. However, going on the journey to understand your faith is a passionate adventure that brings light and life to a person.

Paul commits himself to preaching nothing but Christ crucified. He no longer intends to argue as one does with philosophers but he continues to speak in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.
Paul goes on to describe the wisdom of the Spirit and tells of a secret of hidden wisdom of God which God decreed for our glory. The Greek word musterion for mystery as he describes the love of Christ crucified.

1 Corinthians 1:1-31
We are the Hagios of God. Meaning we are dedicated to God just as the temple was dedicated to YHWH by Israel. Before Paul corrects he reminds the Corinthians of Christ's great love and standard for his saints who are always in the presence of a gracious and loving God. The cross calls us to be knit together as brothers and sisters worshiping Christ and not our own glories or labors.

From scandal to spiritism to the declaration of independence to pop culture. This chapter needs to be longer. The ideology of feminism here is crazy and built on the most interestingly radical women I've ever read about.

I never thought reading a historical retelling would make me simultaneously mad and incredibly sad at the forming of an ideology.

"This is also a book for men... who love their wives and daughters, sisters and mothers - but have a hard time watching the women they love destroy their lives - or men who can't figure out how to love them well; and for men who are just ready to give up on women entirely."
"Feminism, perhaps second only to Marxism, is currently the most powerful brand in the world."
Perfectly describes why I want to read this book.
