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.

God's Desire
God, by nature, is a Savior. He sent His Son to die so that unholy sinners could be reconciled to Him. And one of the things that irritates me about Roman Catholicism, and a lot of things do, but one of the most irritating things, one of the most God-dishonoring things, and one of the most blasphemous elements of Roman Catholicism is this: If you want God to come and rescue you out of your plight, if you want God to deliver you, if you want God to pay attention to you, don't go to God. He's really busy. And He's really holy. He's holy, holy, holy. And He hasn't got time for you, and He's hard and harsh. You don't want to go to God. You don't want to cry out to God. Now, you could go to Christ. You could go to Christ because Christ, having been a man and having experienced all the things that humans experience, being in all points tempted like we are, He's liable to be a little more sympathetic, but, you know, He's pretty tough, too. He's pretty harsh. So if you really have a problem and you really have a need, go to Mary. Why go to Mary? Because Jesus can't resist Mary. He can resist you, but He can't resist His mother. So go to Mary. That is a blasphemy against the nature of God, who is a reconciling, loving God waiting for the sinner to come into His presence and ask His forgiveness. You don't need to go to Mary. In fact, Mary has never heard a prayer from any human being since she arrived in heaven. And neither has anybody else in heaven except the Trinity. God is by nature a reconciling God. You say, "How can you say that God is a loving, reconciling God when He allows so many bad things to happen to good people?" That's not the question. The question is, "Why does God allow most sinners to go on living?" That's the question. Because the wages of sin is death, and death is what they deserve. Listen, periodically through human history, God allows cataclysmic events to happen as a testimony to what all sinners deserve. But the mass of sinners who go on living and enjoying all the benefits of common grace give evidence to the fact that God is by nature a saving God. He puts His compassion and His mercy on behalf of sinners on display through common grace as a warning to sinners to repent. He is in that sense a Savior of all men, but He is especially the Savior of those who believe because He saves them not just physically and temporally, but spiritually and eternally. The point is that God is the source of reconciliation. And I'm so glad I don't have to talk God into being willing to accept a sinner. You know, as Jesus hung on the cross, there was a veil in the temple that separated God from everybody. But when Jesus died, God ripped it from top to bottom and threw it wide open, making it clear that all sinners who believe now have access to the one who is by nature a reconciling God. It is critical to know that sinners are unable to reconcile themselves to God. It is God who reconciles us to Himself. It is God in Christ reconciling the world. It is God begging sinners through believers to be reconciled to Him. And know this: you are never more in line with the will of God than when you preach the word of reconciliation. Why? Because reconciliation only takes place by the will of God. And God's desire is for you to be reconciled. Repent and believe! GTY.org (TM11-7) –The Reconciling Gospel
