Good or evil??? Wise or foolish????
Good morning!!! God morning!!! Have you prayed yet today??? Take time to pray and enjoy the riches of God. I am going to talk about good o evil as portrayed in the book Mind Siege by Tim LaHaye and David Noebel.
3500 years ago evil was termed "the way of man" or "the way that seemed right to man." The good way has always been called "God's way." These two ways of life are really philosophies of life dictating how a peson lives. The apostle Paul described the difference between the two when he wrote to the chuch in Corinth where much of our I - DOLATROUS thinking oiginated:
1 Corinthians 1:17-25 "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross ofChist should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and Greeks seeks after wisdom. But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness. But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men."
Here Paul points out 2 opposing views: man's wisdom & God's wisdom. Paul is telling the Greeks, the intellect of the day, that man's wisdom was wrong, calling it foolishness.
However, God's wisdom is powerful, it possesses the energy to produce godliness, contentment, fulfillment, and meaning, to which the wise aspire. (I Timothy 6:6) These benefits are available only throug God's wisdom. Man's wisdom continues to keep them based in the secular, with no way of seeing the angelic, heavenly, spiritual realms.
What do you strive for? The wisdom of man? OR, the wisdom of God? I have to pray for God's wisdom, so that I will be of wisdom spiritually. How about you? Good or evil.....wise or foolish!! It all lies in your hands.
Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
