Isaac Asimov, one of the great science fiction writers of the 20th Century once wrote, “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” The Bible itself contains three entire books devoted to wisdom within what is called the writings: the book of Proverbs, the book of Ecclesiastes and the book of Job. But do those who claim to follow the teachings of scripture take the time to consider these teachings? In this message, Tim Pebworth defines wisdom from a modern and biblical basis, explores key teachings on how it is obtained and a single characteristic that will help listeners determine if they are following their own insights or Godly wisdom. This is just the beginning of wisdom, we hope it sparks good discussions.
