God’s Use of Power: Ron C. Smith, Ph.D., D.Min. - President, Southern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists

God at His weakest is stronger than man at his strongest. God, in His most vulnerable moment, is wiser than all the wise men put together in their wisest moment. God’s use of His power is illustrated through the power of the cross.
