Our Verse: I Cor 3:19 the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God.

Text:
We left a few details out in our last episode on wisdom. There are actually two kinds of wisdom, one that's really great, and one that's really bad. The great wisdom, we talked about it last time, is God's wisdom. The other kind, the bad- failure wisdom, is man's wisdom.

So/ what do you mean Man's wisdom?

For this discussion, man's wisdom means non-God solutions to life's issues, attempts to solve life's problems while excluding God. Humans not under God's authority make their own rules. Most times these rules exalt one person or one government over another. Those who are above do what they want, those that are under are forced to obey. Human wisdom is about pride and control, God's wisdom is about humility and obedience.

Down through the centuries, men have continually dominated other men. They have used many cunning devices to enforce control over others. Wars and great suffering have been the result. Man's machines and philosophies often damage our earth and people.

Using human wisdom, man dreams up even religious practices to control others and get what they want. They use God's name, but their own human wisdom, to get what they want. That is hypocrisy in it's purest form.

Don't be fooled by this failure wisdom for genuine wisdom. Reading any history book will tell you that human wisdom is a total failure.

The only authentic wisdom we can get in this world comes from God Himself. His wisdom has proven again and again to be the best. You can depend on His wisdom.

Our brother James (3:5) describes it, “the wisdom from God is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good results.”

Man's wisdom wrecks just about everything. God's wisdom make's the world a better place.
