And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:1-5)
If I told you we were going to change the world with a message about someone who died which we would deliver without any finesse and with great fear and trembling, you would tell me to go find another strategy. Yet that is exactly what Paul, the great apostle and founder of the church did. And the original Jesus Music artists all would agree. The message of Christ on the cross and the power of the Holy Spirit to drive it home are the two most important things about the Jesus Movement then and now.
