So You Want to be a Wise Guy, Huh? -- January 25, 2013

Where did you get your wisdom?

From your experiences?  From family members and friends?  From sit-coms?  From the Bible?

Wisdom is our focus this week.  In fact, the title of our lesson is "Wisdom: Its Role In The Lives of God's People".

Here's the breakdown of the points from our book:

1.  Wisdom is rooted in the fear of God
2.  Wisdom directs our passions.
3.  Wisdom provides the proper perspective on life in a fallen world.
4.  Wisdom guides our priorities and points us to Christ.

The scripture passages are from Proverbs 1:7, Song of Solomon 6:3, Job 1:20-21, and Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.

Now that you know what the lesson plan is and you have read our Bible verses, I have to let you in on a little secret.  We're going to go in an entirely different direction in our exploration of wisdom this Sunday (9:50 a.m. of course).

We'll use those four lesson points as our touchstone, but we'll find some better scripture to flesh them out.  So read your lesson.  It has some great questions to ponder.

But come in with an open mind.  Why?

Because wisdom is more than philosophy.  Wisdom is knowledge combined with action.  That is all for now, Grasshopper.

Finish Friday strong.  Enjoy Saturday with your family.  See you Sunday!

Loyally yours,

Darren Bayne
