"Heavenly Wisdom > Worldly Wisdom" (James 3:13-18)

6-1-25 | Have you heard some worldly wisdom and thought, “That's the worst advice I've ever heard!”?  The reason is, Biblical wisdom is often at odds with the wisdom of this world. In this sermon series, we will attack the advice the world gives with God's Word and choose to be led by the Holy Spirit.

For those who claim the name of Christ, we should be living sacrifices to God, forsaking “Worldly Wisdom” and the deception and lies that come against us. We are transformed by the truth of the Word.

Greetings and welcome! This is our daily devotional for February 14, 2025. Today we continue our series on the Book of Genesis in chapter 30 where we learn a valuable lesson about how God hears His children and how we should trust in Him, not worldly wisdom. Thanks for joining us!

Followers of Jesus are given the mind of Christ, but what does that mean? How do we learn to walk by the Spirit? What's more, how do we know the difference between the Holy Spirit and our own thoughts? Join us this Sunday as we continue our series of Discerning Gospel Community with 1 Corinthians 2.

"Be sure that wherever our lot is cast we may and must aim at the perfect life." Written over 400 years ago, Introduction to the Devout Life is still one of the most popular books for those pursuing holiness. St. Francis de Sales explains how to turn that desire for sanctity into resolutions that yield grace-filled results. Themes include: Pursuing a devout life whole-heartedly Incorporating prayer and sacraments into a busy schedule Growing in virtue Battling wisely against temptation Making spiritual progress through daily, monthly, and yearly exercises Whether you are just beginning your spiritual journey or are more advanced in the spiritual life, you'll be able to apply this timeless wisdom immediately. Let St. Francis de Sales illumine the path to holiness and strengthen your desire to walk that road with the Lord. St. Francis de Sales (1567–1622) was the Bishop of Geneva and a renowned spiritual director. Preaching during the Counter-Reformation, he is estimated to have converted 70,000 Calvinists in his lifetime. He was a fervent proponent of the universal call to holiness and spent much of his time guiding lay people on the road to sanctity. Declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius IX in 1877, St. Francis is still helping to form saints through his many writings, of which Introduction to the Devout Life is the most famous. —description from the publisher Introduction to the Devout Life full text: https://watch.formed.org/introduction-to-the-devout-life-by-st-francis-de-sales SUBSCRIBE to Catholic Culture Audiobooks https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/catholic-culture-audiobooks/id1482214268 SIGN UP for Catholic Culture's newsletter http://www.catholicculture.org/newsletter DONATE at http://www.catholicculture.org/donate/audio  Theme music: "2 Part Invention", composed by Mark Christopher Brandt, performed by Thomas Mirus. ©️2019 Heart of the Lion Publishing Co./BMI.

In this episode of Your Daily Bread, dietitians Abbie and Hannah continue the Isaiah Series by unpacking Isaiah 8:11 and Proverbs 3:5-8. Together, we reflect on God's strong warning to avoid thinking like the world and instead lean on His higher understanding in our health and wellness journey. The world often offers quick-fix solutions and diet trends that promise fulfillment but carry hidden motives. We explore how trusting in God's wisdom and aligning your choices with His ways can bring true health, strength, and freedom—both physically and spiritually. Tune in if you want to learn more about: What it means to trust God with your health and wellness. How worldly wisdom can distract us from God's plan for our bodies. The connection between leaning on God's understanding and finding health for your body and strength for your bones. This episode is a powerful reminder to prioritize God's voice over cultural noise as you pursue a Christ-centered approach to your health.

Tom welcomes back, Jesse Felder, founder, editor, and publisher of The Felder Report, to discuss inflation and its impact on investments. Felder argues that American citizens consider inflation a major issue, despite the Federal Reserve's efforts to contain it. He suggested the Fed might accept higher-than-targeted inflation levels in the future. Felder touches upon bond markets as indicators of potential inflation trends and the possibility of another "lost decade" for stock and bond portfolios due to current valuations. Felder criticizes passive investing, citing negative annual returns over a 10-year period, and emphasizes individual investors' attention to Warren Buffett's investment philosophy, focusing on valuation sensitivity. Buffett's massive cash position in Berkshire Hathaway was discussed, with reasons for his disinterest in gold and cautious approach due to concerns over the fiscal situation. Jesse suggests individual investors pay heed to Buffett's underlying investment strategy while acknowledging opportunities unavailable to Berkshire Hathaway. Felder also highlights the potential for a steep market reversal following the stock market's overexuberance post-Trump's election and emphasized insider activity and buy-sell ratios as indicators of earnings and economic disappointments in the equity market. He encourages investors to be cautious given current extreme valuations. Felder expresses his interest on oil and gas stocks due to the changing inflation environment and the new floor at $70 for oil prices. He believes that energy producers would benefit from a more stable foundation for their commodity, despite concerns about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve's size and potential implications of inflation and peak oil production.

This passage provides three reasons we should pursue God's wisdom: because it's the best pursuit in life (vv 13-18), because it's elemental to life (vv 19-20), and because it provides security for life (vv 21-26).

This passage encourages us to treasure God's wisdom (vv 1-4) and gives three benefits that come from treasuring his wisdom and the path it lays out. When you treasure the path of God's wisdom, you experience protection on that path (vv 5-11), and that leads to deliverance from wrong paths (vv 12-19), and all of this leads to an enduring reward in the end (vv 20-22).

Winning in my walk requires the right wisdom in my ways.

The more we grow in the areas that Jesus did, the more we grow in Godly wisdom. In this message, Pastor Josh Turner illustrates how seeking wisdom leads to a fulfilling and purposeful life.
