Definition of Wisdom
Wisdom is common sense. It is using knowledge to determine the best course of action for a given situation. We live in a knowledgeable modern world, but wisdom seems to be a dying art.
“By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the most bitter.” – Confucius
“Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.” – Immanuel Kant
“Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.” – Martin Fischer
“It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense.” – Robert Green Ingersoll
“A man only becomes wise when he begins to calculate the approximate depth of his ignorance.” – Gian Carlo Menotti
What does God require of us?
Greg Boyd explains what God requires of us by examining Micah 6:8. The full sermon is entitled “Seeing What God Sees” and can be found on the Woodland Hills website.
“He has shown all you people what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
- Micah 6:8
