The Beginning Of Wisdom

from South Union Sermons · host Pastor Chad Thompson

Bottom line: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Wisdom is for everyone: simple, young, old. We never graduate from our need to increase in wisdom. We need to receive it because it is valuable. It's value is seen in that when you follow and apply it, you end up in the right place: right place in life, marriage, school, career, work, relationships, ministry, finances, etc. Wisdom doesn't start with information. It begins with the fear of the Lord (i.e. awe, reverence). Wisdom begins when we stop putting ourselves at the center of our lives and put God there instead.
