Wisdom is a skill in living that begins with fearing God, then progresses to guarding your mind, choosing your companions, controlling your body, monitoring your words, pursuing your work, managing your money, and loving your neighbor. Very simple. But that’s it. And when you’ve done that, you’ve learned wisdom. It’s vital to be taught wisdom. For example, as a father, if I fail to teach my son to fear God, the devil will teach him to hate God. If I fail to teach my son to guard his mind, the devil will teach him to have an open mind. If I fail to teach my son to obey his parents, the devil will teach him to rebel and break his parents’ hearts. If I fail to teach my son to select his companions carefully, the devil will choose them for him. If I fail to teach my son to control his body, the devil will gladly teach him to give it completely over to his lusts. If I fail to teach my children to enjoy speech that is honorable to God, the devil will fill their mouths with filth. If I fail to teach my children to pursue their work, the devil will make them lazy. If I fail to teach them to manage their money, the devil will teach them to waste it on riotous living. If I fail to teach them to love their neighbor, the devil will gladly teach them to love only themselves. And the only reason I can pass any of this wisdom on to my children is because God has graciously made it all available in the Bible.

Two Gifts from God
God has given each of us two gifts that make it obvious that there is a God. The first gift is reason. Reason says, if a watch, a building, or an automobile has a maker, so does the universe. The second gift that makes it obvious that there is a God is conscience. The conscience is the built-in device that God has put into each of us to react to the moral law that He has written in our hearts. It gives us the ability to tell right from wrong. And that’s exactly why today our anti-God society does everything possible to destroy those two gifts. If they can destroy your ability to reason, then you will believe in nonsense such as evolution theory, which says nobody times nothing equals everything. And if they can destroy the ability of your conscience to function properly, then they can get you to behave in ways that you shouldn’t. By controlling what you believe, they can control how you behave. So the first thing they try to do is to destroy your gift of reason. And the second thing they try to do is destroy your gift of a functioning conscience. One way that they destroy your conscience is by telling you to ignore it. Psychologists today will tell you, “Don’t feel guilty. Don’t feel shame. Don’t feel remorse. Don’t feel bad. It’s not your fault. You’re a victim. You’re not to blame. And by the way, you can do anything you want, and you shouldn’t feel bad about anything. It’s up to you. Nobody can tell you what to do. You can live your own life any old way you want to live your life. Don’t let your conscience do that to you. Don’t feel bad about anything!” And you begin to train yourself to ignore that little voice that says the very opposite. That’s deadly. Now, the second thing they are doing today is reprogramming your moral code so your conscience doesn’t know what to react to. In other words, your conscience can only react to your moral code. And if you rewrite the moral code, then conscience has nothing to react to but error. You see, if everything is totally reversed, they can cut off the lines to God. You cut it off rationally by evolution. You cut it off morally by the psychological effort to stamp out your conscience and by a reconstruction of all moral values and reversing everything. And then what do you have? You’ve got a society filled with people that have no God and no self-control, and you’ve got hell on earth. And that’s where our culture is today. Look, people have gone to great lengths to rationalize their iniquity and their sin. But I sincerely believe in my heart that since God has made us in His image and has put a rational mind and a moral law in us, no matter how much we violate our conscience, we will never be able to completely destroy it. It will always sneak back up and say, “Yes, there’s a God, and yes, there’s a moral law, and yes, you are violating it.” So, God has given each of us two gifts that make it obvious that there is a God. These two gifts are reason and conscience. And you must be diligent to guard and protect those precious gifts at all costs. Repent and believe!
