The Bible: 'God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong'

Ever thought that you were not good enough to be a Christian, that you were too weak - if so, you are not alone as many of the important figures in the Bible had a weakness. And it's ok to have a weakness as God uses the weak in the world and we gain strength in Christ.
