Don't Try to Be So Smart

I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.

 - From 1 Corinthians 1

If only the "intelligent" could be brought down low. If only life, and the world, delivered more crushing blows to the arrogance and self-love of those that are "educated." 

 If the Church really believed all of it, then poor people would no longer be maligned. People that did not go to college would be brought in, to share their advice. We would seek out the wisdom of the old and frail, ahead of the young and rich. 

And yet, in 2017 a President is elected, with the margin of victory going to people that are considered, by the two coasts "ignorant."

Yes: "ignorant." How we love to toss that word around!

Nobody wants to be known as "ignorant," or "uneducated." 

Yet the Bible says in many ways, that God does know the "ignorant" and "uneducated," and has entrusted them with his mission. Meanwhile, God has very little to go with the educated, the intelligent, the wealthy, and those with lots of worldly resources. 

And we all know this.

Then why do we continue to mock and malign others, by labeling them "ignorant"?
