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.

Proverbs 4:5 - Acquire Wisdom!
Modern Day Blasphemy
As believers who desire to worship the Lord, we want to understand who it is we worship and why we worship Him, and that goes for the Holy Spirit as well. Most all of us have an understanding of God, the nature of God, and the glory of God; we worship God, and we know His attributes. We all have an understanding of Christ, the person, and the work of Christ, what He's done, and we celebrate that. But there's so much more confusion and cloudiness about the person and work of the Holy Spirit. However, if we go to the Scriptures, we can clearly see the Holy Spirit identified for us and His ministry delineated. Romans 8 is the location for this instruction. In this one great chapter, which I like to call the Holy Spirit's own chapter, you can find almost all the important aspects of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life pulled together. Now, the error that launched the Charismatic/Pentecostal movement in 1901 was a misrepresentation of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. They invented something they call "the baptism of the Holy Spirit," which has nothing to do with Christ's true work: baptizing every believer into the body of Christ at the point of saving faith—what the New Testament teaches. But they came up with the idea that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is an event. It's a repeatable event that happens after your salvation; you seek it, you try to find it, and when you get it, you know you get it because you begin speaking in gibberish, have more power, and are elevated to a higher level of spiritual power. They say, in fact, that if you receive a big enough dose of this supposed baptism of the Holy Spirit, you can enter into what they call Christian perfectionism, where you don't sin willfully. You may make mistakes unintentionally, but you no longer intentionally sin. This invention is a complete misrepresentation of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is a simple description of the work of Christ placing you at the point of your salvation into the body of Christ, the church, by the power of the Holy Spirit. That happens once at the time of salvation for every believer and is never repeatable and never to be sought. But again, the whole movement starts with this aberrant view and then goes on to other aberrant views as well. And this is no small movement. As of now, slightly more than one hundred years after it started, there are about half a billion people who claim to be a part of this movement. That is incredible growth for such an aberrant movement. So we must look at Romans chapter 8 to get in touch with the true and genuine ministry of the Holy Spirit. And therefore, I encourage you to listen to The Modern Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit series, which is downloadable and available for free at GTY.org. Repent and believe!
