3.  the sacrifices, and

4. the glory of the LORD filled the temple.

Knowledge and Wisdom

Posted on by

Knowledge, the facts or experiences known to me.

We are adding to our knowledge by

hearing and reading.

Wisdom, the ability to think and act  utilizing knowledge.

In Luke 11:28 the Lord Jesus Christ says:

“Blessed are rather those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

ATTENTION  PLEASE!



WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UTILIZE THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE ALREADY?

REMEMBER:

WISDOM: THE ABILITY TO THINK AND ACT UTILIZING KNOWLEDGE!

CRONYISM

Posted on by

Where do you find cronyism?

I cannot find it in The Collins Concise Dictionary. That is most surprising!

Then I remembered reading the book “Absolute Power” by Ian Wishart. And there it was in the index at the end of the book. In the book “Absolute Power” you can read about cronyism on seven different pages.

You can find cronyism in politics.

But you can find cronyism also in  churches!
