Send us Fan Mail We have more information at our fingertips than any generation before us, yet information alone does not make us wise. As we begin…
All right, well, let's get wise, shall we? Starting this new sermon series today, and we're looking at the book of Proverbs, and we'll be doing that for the next few weeks, as you've already heard.
There is a pastor who's also written some things.
His name is Anthony Delaney, and in one of his publications, he writes about the search for wisdom, because isn't, isn't that something we search for all of our lives? And he said, "We are told that this is the knowledge economy, the information age.
And then he said he did.
Then he said, "Guess what came up as the top answer? In fact, as I type into Google, where is wisdom to be found, I scroll down and just keep scrolling, and every answer, the first twenty-five at least, come from the Bible." Specifically from the book of Job chapter twenty-eight, twelve that says, "But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?" Now, I believe this man that I've never met, Anthony.
And I scrolled through the first four pages.
And every single one, every single answer to the question, where is wisdom found, pointed to Job twenty-eight, twelve.
So today we, we start this sermon series on the book of Proverbs, which is one of three books of the Old Testament that are considered wisdom literature.
And that is why we are looking at the book of Proverbs, so that we can continue to grow in our understanding of how to live a successful and godly life in God's world.
And so today, as we start this sermon series, we're remembering what the piece is that sometimes is missing from our decision-making and from our daily living, and, and how that piece could help us not only be more godly, but more successful in the eyes of our Creator, the one who matters.
