The Foolishness of the Cross

What is wise and what is foolish? Our culture complains about the gender of Mr Potato Head but celebrates people who want to "transition" to the opposite sex. Decades-old books by Dr Seuss are called insensitive and even racist but popular songs with graphic sexual and blatantly racist lyrics are awarded trophies. If you think that only lately things have gotten backward, Paul reminds us that this is an age-old problem. The world has always seen the cross as foolishness. We see it as our saving grace. So, what is wise and what is foolish? It all depends on your standard.
