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!

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!

“CHILDREN NEED MODELS, NOT CRITICS.”

When I worked in Thailand as a missionary we had a very wise Field Leader. I remember him saying something like this:

“If we put enough pressure on each other we will all go home eventually.”

“You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him.”

“WE’RE TOO BLESSED TO BE DEPRESSED.”
