If you’ve got these qualities, you won’t go with the crowd. But you may irritate many and seem like an oddball.

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God”

(1 Corinthians 2:1-5 NKJV)

Determination – Purposeful limitation of “knowledge” to give focus where focus is rightfully due.

Discipline – Not to impress even though capable of such actions.

Demonstration – The Spirit and power needs to be demonstrated to ensure that one’s faith should not rest in the wisdom of men.

I’d rather be an oddball.
