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.

Proverbs 4:5 - Acquire Wisdom!
No Other Explanation
I submit to you that nothing will have more impact on your life than whether or not you believe in God. It will have a tremendous personal impact on your life. And it has an immense impact on a culture and the destiny of nations. Because, if there is God, then everything flows from His existence—all created matter and all moral law. But if there is no God, then how can you explain anything? There is no law, except that which we make up for ourselves; there is no accountability, there is no source or rhyme or reason for anything, and that is absolutely irrational on the one hand and morally suicidal on the other. Listen, if you believe in a Creator, Sustainer, and Law-Giver, then you have some shape to your life. Just imagine children with no parents to raise them. What happens? Lord of the Flies. Barbaric devastation. However, where you have a father and mother who create, control, constrain, give rules, and teach behavior, you have order. In that little microcosm is a simple illustration of the existence of God. But man has always rejected God. Romans 1:21 says, "Though men knew God, they glorified Him not as God or gave thanks." Why? Because they don’t want somebody sitting in judgment on their sins. According to the Bible, men love darkness rather than light. You love your sin. I mean, how hard is it to do good? Compare that with how easy it is to sin, to do evil. When you eliminate God, what you have is no control. G. K. Chesterton said, “God is like the sun. You can’t look at it, but without it you can’t see anything else.” In other words, you can’t see God, but without Him, nothing makes sense. Therefore, God is the ultimate reality that gives meaning and light to everything else. Apart from God, everything is black pointlessness. And if there is no God, then everybody is free to live any way they want. And according to Scripture, you’ll pay dearly for that. You see, preachers and teachers of Christianity and Christians, are not running around trying to rain on your parade. We’re not trying to introduce you to the God who is the cosmic killjoy who goes around saying, “There’s someone who’s having fun. Get ‘em.” That’s not the idea. We’re here to tell you the Good News. And do you know what the Good News is? There is a God. And if you are thinking clearly, you have to conclude that because you cannot explain the complexity of the universe by chance. It can’t be done. Everything can’t come from nothing. And even if it was just mechanical, where did personality come from? Where did love or wisdom come from? And why are men so different than animals? I know that the evolutionists want us to believe in the equivalent equation that says a rock is a rat is a dog is a boy. But dogs don’t write symphonies, and neither do rats. And dogs don’t blast off in their own little spaceships into space, and they don’t create dog universities. There is a huge gap between all animals and man because man is created in the very image of God. He bears the stamp of God: personality, will, choice, and intellect. There is no other explanation for the universe apart from the fact that there is a Creator. Repent and believe! GTY.org (GTY66) - The Certainty of God's Existence – GTY66
