The Danger and Dilemma of A Bright Mind Void of God
NOTHING or NO ONE can EVER take the place or substitute being personally interrupted by Jesus and permanently invaded with His redeeming and all consuming grace.
"For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe." 1 Corinthians 1:21
The Wisdom Shattering Gospel
What you know of God, and how you perceive the wisdom of God, will be clearly seen in:
1. How you treat Jesus.
2. How you receive the word of God.
3. How you view the disciples of Jesus.
A man that's NOT persuaded by the word of God will NOT be persuaded by anything else that God has done or will ever do.
Only the Lord, and those walking in the realm of His wisdom and the power of His Spirit, will encourage and point you to SEEK and TRUST, HONOR and OBEY and wisely FOLLOW and PROCLAIM the ways of God and His redeeming grace, with all that you are. Because they KNOW... if God does not define life for us, we will perceive [it], and everything else IN life wrong. Paul said the rulers of His day would have never crucified Jesus if they knew Him.
Why? Jesus adds an eternal value, to our thoughts and tongue. He, through His grace and by His Spirit, enriches our communication with eternal life because He enriches our comprehension with eternal truth.
Knowledge is power... no doubt, but it's power that will either warp you or shape for His glory. Not all knowledge or information is valuable... the wrong information has the power to warp your thinking and pollute your life and eternal point view (Isaiah 47:10).
