The Kiss Principle

1 Corinthians 1:18-19 (New Living Translation)

The Wisdom of God

18 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. 19 As the Scriptures say,

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise
and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.”

As a child, I heard Billy Graham, live in Chicago, present the gospel … very plainly … very simply. Along with hundreds of others, I responded to this simple message.

Earlier this week, I again heard the gospel explained in very basic and simple terms … another very effective presentation.

God has never required that His plan of salvation to be complicated … requiring great intelligence and wisdom. In fact, I think He would support the ‘Kiss’ principle.

Keep It Simple St____ (didn’t want to offend anyone with the last word). How simply can you articulate the gospel message?
