Take
a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I
don't see many of "the brightest and the best" among you, not many
influential, not many from high-society families. Isn't it obvious that God
deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and
abuses, chose these "nobodies" to expose the hollow pretensions of
the "somebodies"? That makes it quite clear that none of you can get
by with blowing your own horn before God. Everything that we have -- right
thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start -- comes from God by
way of Jesus Christ. That's why we have the saying, "If you're going to
blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God."
-- 1 Corinthians 1: 26-31 The Message (MSG)
