It took about 18 minutes to read this passage. Paul explains the real way to become wise. It is not through being knowledgable of current trends and having access to the right connections. The Message translates Paul's admonition with the words; "Be God's fool - that's the path to true wisdom" What does it take to be a fool for God? I think that part of it is to abandon our kind of thinking and continually surrender to the commands and guidence that God gives, to accept the scriptures as his revelation to mankind, and stand in the faith that only Jesus offers the way to eternal life. These things will lead to ridicule and abuse from those who reject God's word, but it will lead us into friendship with Him. And that is what we seek for our lives.
