Psa 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Think of the professor down at the U who looks down his long nose, through his spectacles which are precariously planted at the end of the ski slope he breathes with at those of us mere mortals who are stuck in 15th century thinking.
He chortles at our beliefs about the sanctity of life and intelligent design.
He is miffed that we would want to stifle 'free-thinking' with such preposterous ideas like absolutes and morality.
My dad called these people educated idiots who are too smart for their own good. My preacher said that letters after a person's name are like curls in a pig's tail, a pig is still a pig. I have known people whose IQs were off the charts, but they had zippo common sense.
A bunch of little, bright-eyed Sunday school kids who know how to quote John 3:16 and can tell you what it means are on the right path to wisdom. Those simplistic believers who rely on the Lord's power to keep God's commandments have a pretty good understanding of what's what.
Education is a great thing. The Word tells us that wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
It is said that knowledge is the accumulation of facts, but wisdom is knowing how to apply them.
Those who know God know essentially everything necessary, but those who deny God, well, the Bible has a word for them and there is a day named after them on the first of April.
