the country.


Leon Morris

They were considered unreliable and were not allowed to give testimony in the law courts.”


1 Corinthians 1 (NLT)

26Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you.



27Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.



28God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. 29As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.


“A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.”

C. S. Lewis on Glory


“God will use whatever He wants to display His glory.

Heavens and stars. History and nations. People and

problems.”

Max Lucado on Glory


Philippians 2 (NLT)

6Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.


John 17:5

And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I

had with you before the world existed.


Euripides “Hippolytus”

Of all those of them who respect my power, I, respect them, also. But those of them who treat me with disrespect, them, I crush and destroy! It’s part of being a god. We, gods, all of us, enjoy being revered by the mortals. (Aphrodite)
