Practical Wisdom

The book of Proverbs is intensely practical and applicable even today, 3,000 years after it was written. It teaches us skill in the art of living.

The Details of Life

True heavenly fame is compatible with earthbound anonymity. As we grow in wisdom, we will store up treasure for ourselves in heaven.

Growing in Wisdom through Proverbs

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.

Sharing Wisdom

Part of growing in wisdom involves sharing it with others—learning from what others teach us and passing on wisdom to those around us.

Deuteronomy 34: The Death of Moses

Moses’s disobedience may seem like a small thing to us, and God’s reaction drastic, but we need to recognize that God had given Moses a command. And Moses, the shepherd of the Israelites, did not obey. As Luke 12:48 teaches, to whom much is given, much will be required. The more you know about the Word, the more you will be held accountable. Moses was a leader, and God held him accountable for his actions.

Individual and Collective Wisdom

In jass music, individual and collective components work together cohesively. The Body of Christ works in a similar way—we learn on our own and from others.

Glorifying God in Mundane Tasks

God calls us to love Him in all things—even when we do not like all things. Every task, however mundane it may be, is an opportunity to give God glory.

Gratuitous Beauty

God has made His creation beautiful and marvelous—we cannot understand it. The more we see of His glory, the more we realize we cannot fully understand Him.

Choosing a Life of Wisdom

True wisdom involves treating things according to their true value. To do so, we need an eternal perspective from training in the Word and in prayer.
