2006-06-20 - God & Dorks

A couple weeks ago, I was roaming the halls of church for a quiet moment during Vacation Bible School when one of the older kids told me I was their home skillet.

So then I tried thinking of something to say back. Visions of pots and kettles calling each black flashed through my brain. I began to think that maybe I should tell this girl that she is my home pan or perhaps a nice wok. As you can tell, I did not know how to respond. I wasn't sure if being a 'home skillet' is a good thing or bad thing. I didn't know to feel complimented or insulted. Was this preteen patronized me with witty banter in front of her peers or what? I didn't have a clue. "Well umm okay - thanks," I said.

I felt like a dork. I imagine many of the teachers didn't speak the language of the younger generation either. Perhaps we were just dorks. nevertheless, we dorks got something right; we talked about Jesus and in our one week VBS a few came to know Jesus as their personal Savior.

See God uses dorks to get to those who know it all. It even says so in the Bible.

1 Corinthians 1:26-29 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: ²⁷ But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; ²⁸ And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: ²⁹ That no flesh should glory in his presence.

Praise God, I am a dork. Won't you be one too?
