Day 217 Restore-Rebuild-Repeat? By Torrie Slaughter

Bible Study & Devotional 217

Guiding Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:20, ‘Where is the wise man (the philosopher)? Where is the scribe (the scholar)? Where is the investigator (the logician, the debater) of this present time and age? Has not God shown up the nonsense and the folly of this world’s wisdom?’
