"Professing to be wise, they became fools...." (Romans 1:16)
Obviously their, "Professing to be wise," was a wisdom which they thought was their natural gift.
When one rejects Jesus Christ, "....Who is made to us Wisdom from God..," then whatever "wisdom" he/she claims to have turns into, "....they became fools." There are just no exceptions.
I make no, "Professing to be wise...." My shortcomings are more than my "long-comings." If you and I have any wisdom at all, it is only a gift of the Holy Spirit, not from our parents, nor our education, nor some "natural" gift.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I freely confess with the psalmist, "I have no good a part from Thee." Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
