But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.
But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.
For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:14-16
Those who do not know God don’t get why Christians do the things they do. It seems foolish to them that we would spend our vacation repairing homes in an inner city neighborhood or cleaning at a homeless shelter or doing any number of kindnesses for people we don’t know.
We do these things because we have the mind of Christ and understand what it is God has called us to do, and when we think we don’t know what to do – BINGO – God gives us a revelation and we get it.
