[Guardrails: a system designed to keep vehicles from straying into dangerous or off-limit areas.]

They're everywhere, but they don't really get much attention . . . until somebody hits one. And then, more often that not, it is a lifesaver.

Ever wonder what it would be like to have guardrails in other areas of your life—areas where culture baits you to the edge of disaster and then chastises you when you step across the line?

Your friendships. Your finances. Your marriage.

Maybe your greatest regret could have been avoided if you had established guardrails.

This 7 part-series challenges us to stop flirting with disaster and establish some personal guardrails.

Wisdom is the first guardrail that needs to be set up in your life. Proverbs 1:7 says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." Matt Rosenberg shows us what wisdom is and how the wisdom of God is different than the wisdom of man.
