Quotes about Wisdom

Wherever the Word of God is hidden or ignored, there will be certain destruction.

Much of the world in search of knowledge and fulfillment ignores God!

Today we have more knowledge than at any other time in history. In seconds our laptops or PCs can call up information about a topic that would have taken years to collect.

I ask God if it is good and edifying. Then, I give it the Scripture test. I see if the Bible has anything to say for or against it.

To know the will of God is the highest of all wisdom. Living in the center of God's will rules out all falseness of religion and puts the stamp of true sincerity upon our service to God.

If you are ignorant of God's Word, you will always be ignorant of God's will.
