Wisdom

[Daily verse and quote]

“But the wisdom that comes from God is first of all pure,

then peaceful, gentle, and easy to please.

This wisdom is always ready to help those who are troubled

and to do good for others.

It is always fair and honest.”

James 3:17

 

Wisdom comes privately from God as a by-product of right decisions,

godly reactions, and the application of scriptural principles to daily circumstances.

God didn’t call us to win theological arguments;
He called us to win people to Christ

but he does give us different gifts to accomplish different things...    winning people over to Christ is not our whole job in this world.    Keeping the gospel strait is important also.....   Look what the Pharisees did between Moses time and Jesus, and what the Catholic church has done between Jesus and now.

Theology is kind of important too. Especially considering humans tend to screw up everything they touch over time.

As a ex RCC, having to rid myself of bad theology and then receive truth, I agree with you totally.
I just am not good at digging to the depth it sometimes gets here when it can get really deep.
Like anything, there needs to be balance. I have yet to acquire a learned theological vocabulary, nor the ability.

You must have saw my post the second I posted it, before I edited/deleted it.

God didn’t call me to win theological arguments; (obviously:)
He called me to win people to Christ. (something I can do and enjoy it)

I wasn't even responding to this post, just using a 'vacant spot' to paste the quote till
I could figure out how to put it as my signature, which I haven't figured out yet.
I randomly pick any topic to store future responses, this time accidentally hit the submit button.
PM'ing Dennis, he told me to go to the home page and click on 'signature'.
I either do not have that 'signature' icon, or I do not know what the home page is.
Amazing how a simple idea has me explaining myself to those who would wonder why they're even reading this....

Just keep in mind that many of us think signatures are an annoyance and take up room and we get tired of seeing them.    So we turn them off.   If you do find the proper way to make one, I'll never see it.    IF I have one it's really old  and I'd apologize for the thing.

Thank you for being so honest and open about yourself. And your recognition that "to win people to Christ" is the goal all of us should have as we interact with others...especially non-Christians.
