Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.

Knowledge and wisdom are two entirely different things. Knowledge is the acquiring of facts and information, and wisdom is the ability to know how to use that knowledge in the best godly way possible. Proverbs 16:16 says, “How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!” The Bible urges us often to seek wisdom above all things (e.g., Proverbs 4:7). But there are different kinds of wisdom. First Corinthians 3:19 says, “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight.” And verse 20 says, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” There is a difference between godly wisdom and worldly wisdom (see James 3:13–17).

Have you ever realized that it is more important to others not how much you know but how much you care and share your love and knowledge? Knowledge puffs up but love is ultimately most important. Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary 1. (n.) The quality of being wise; knowledge, and the capacity to make due use of it; knowledge of the best ends and the best means; discernment and judgment; discretion; sagacity; skill; dexterity. 2. (n.) The results of wise judgments; scientific or practical truth; and acquired knowledge. ~ Bill Greguska

James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
