Weakness is not appealing to our culture, but it's what God is inviting us into.  What is at the core of what God through Pastor Paul is trying to communicate.  If we don't accept weaknes , then we don't need Jesus.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
