A Wise Man Knows The Limits Of His Wisdom
Ray Evans • April 20, 2020
Do you know the difference between wisdom and knowledge?
Wisdom comes from knowledge; knowledge comes from experience...that's why they say experience is the best teacher; but it doesn't have to be your experience.
If you listen to wisdom (the experience of others) you won't have to get burned (experience) to know the stove is hot (knowledge).
Solomon said, "Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting, get understanding" (Proverbs 4:7) Why is that important? As it is written, (Proverbs 9:10) "Understanding" is the knowledge of the Holy...it is knowing God.
Until you know, without a doubt, God is real...nothing else matters.

"Obedience" is the key to life and blessing. "Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him" (Deuteronomy 8:6) I know preachers say you shouldn't be "afraid" of God; and you shouldn't...as long as you keep the commandments.
However, God is no respecter of persons. It pains him when his children disobey, but the wages of sin is death.
Here is Wisdom:
If you look at the experience of others (wisdom); throughout scripture, disobedience is always punished. Why would you think you can live a sinful lifestyle and be rewarded with eternal life?
Be careful whom you choose to follow; if the blind lead the blind, they will both fall into the ditch (Matthew 15:14)
Solomon said, "Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting, get understanding" (Proverbs 4:7) Why is that important? As it is written, (Proverbs 9:10) "Understanding" is the knowledge of the Holy...it is knowing God.

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.
A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.
This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
2 Timothy 3:16
