Get Wisdom // Wisdom

Most decisions in life aren’t about which is the “right” choice, but which is the “wise” choice. Wisdom goes beyond right and wrong, and illuminates which choice is best based on the complex realities of life. Join us as we seek and gain wisdom that benefits every area of our lives. You will learn the thinking processes that are an effective filter for all your decisions!

“Life is hard. It’s harder when you’re stupid.” Rough language, but true. All through history and his relationships with people, God urges us to get wisdom. How can we? How will we recognize it when we see it?  Knowledge is the accumulation of facts. Wisdom knows what the facts mean and how to apply them. You could be the smartest person in the world and still be a fool. Anyone can gain knowledge, but only God can give you wisdom.

Message Notes

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
James 1:5

Wisdom and knowledge are not the same. Knowledge is an accumulation of facts. Wisdom understands what the facts mean and how to use them.

The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure, then peace-loving, considerate, submissive and willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in oeace raise a harvest of righteousness. 
James 3:17-18 

We always reap what we sow.

If we ever hope to do anything worthwhile in this world, we need God’s wisdom, not ours.
