Solomon was the wisest man In the Bible, and in much of the secular world, Solomon is recognized as having possessed wisdom beyond that of any other man who ever lived. In 1 Chronicles 1:7 (NIV) God spoke to Solomon in a dream and said to him, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” When [...]

What is the difference between counsel & wisdom? In the last post, I asked about the word, counsel. The word counsel is used for the advice that one person gives to another. A related definition is that of an advocate. An advocate or  lawyer (AKA, counselor) gives (legal) advice and advocates for his or her client. So, counsel (advice) is [...]

The Chief Shepherd Blog has a very interesting post on the ” Direction of Authority .” The article states that “primary authority is derived from God.” But then it seems to argue against that truth. Here is a quote,

Absolute authority refers to the “right” to make decisions within a person’s “domain.” But PRACTICALLY, it does not work that way. [...]

“God grant me wisdom.”
When we face difficult choices, Christians should always seek God’s counsel. But is “counsel” the same as “wisdom”?

If not, what is the difference?
How do you define wisdom?

All of us want to have (& use) wisdom. Many Christians quote the Bible at James 1:5 and believe that God will just impart a special gift of wisdom. At that point, they assume that they will somehow become wise and will make the right decision about whatever they are debating. But Godly Wisdom is [...]

How can I get others to post articles on my blog? Will Mancini posted a great review of how one church is using a blog to post encouraging remarks from its members. He wrote about the  St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach, CA and Jon Bartarse the church’s communications director. Bartarse built a blog for the church [...]

The first level of judgment – Man is accountable for his own actions. The result of the “Judgment of Actions” is that all men are guilty of sin against God and therefore must die. WOW! That is a really harsh opening line!! I don’t know whether I have ever used such a startling statement to begin [...]

It is a given fact that Satan (and his demon helpers) are in all-out battle for our souls.

1Pe 5:8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

The Scripture that we based this series upon (2Cor 1 & 2) deals with this problem. The verse [...]

Set a “Splendid Table” I have enjoyed listening to Lynne Rossetto Kasper’s “Splendid Table” radio program (from American Public Media). She offers great insights of cooking that are not generally provided on the TV cooking shows. Listening to her program is like sitting in on a class in a culinary school. The program’s website has links to [...]
