God calls us to live doxologically in every aspect of our lives—even when we experience suffering. The book of God teaches us to find satisfaction in God no matter our circumstances, transforming our “why” of grumbling into one of gratitude.
You can never outgrow the wisdom in the books of the Bible. Proverbs, for example, will challenge us to watch our words and honor God with our lips.
You will either judge Scripture according to your culture, or you will judge your culture according to Scripture. We are immersed in chaos in our culture in many ways. But we know that the King is coming, and we need to cultivate character to live in light of that Day.
True heavenly fame is compatible with earthbound anonymity. As we grow in wisdom, we will store up treasure for ourselves in heaven.
Wisdom is not about how smart you are—after all, there are a lot of smart fools. Instead, wisdom involves moral excellence and dependence on God.
Part of growing in wisdom involves sharing it with others—learning from what others teach us and passing on wisdom to those around us.
Insight and knowledge go hand in hand with practical righteousness. The book of Proverbs shows us how the fear of the Lord leads us to walk in wisdom.
Knowing God involves both the heart and the mind. The ancient practice of sacred reading involves a process of moving from the mind to the heart through reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation. This is the ninth part of Ken Boa’s “Devotional Spirituality” series.
Dr. Boa discusses the notion of marriage God’s way. It is a one-flesh relationship that is borne out of a calling for a man and a woman to complete one another. It is a unity out of diversity; a spirit, soul, and physical oneness; an organic unity that points beyond itself to spiritual truth.
