Description

We know wisdom is good. We want it. But it can seem elusive. William Somerset Maugham said: If fifty million people say something foolish, it is still foolish. This speaks to our susceptibility to sway.
Do we simply go with the flow, even if the flow is powerful and possibly moving in the wrong direction? How do we evaluate ideas and, therefore, our decisions about how to live?
Wisdom is more than data. Its more than accumulating information. In a world of instant gratification, it can be challenging to attain, which makes it all the more valuable.
Did you realize that Jesus himself taught us the definition of wisdom? Its tucked into the Sermon on the Mount. Not only did he give us the definition, but he told us how to live that way. This sermon unpacks Matthew 7:24-29.
