Untitled Sermon (3)

This is our wisdom, to be learners to the end.

John Calvin (French Reformer)

First, a word about wisdom. What is it? We must not confuse it with knowledge. Knowledge is information; wisdom is application. Knowledge is comprehending facts; wisdom is handling life. Knowledge is theoretical; wisdom is practical.

Roger Ellsworth

Wisdom, the wisdom of God, is not something that is acquired by man, but something that is bestowed by God upon his elect. It is a divine endowment and not a human acquisition.

Spiros Zodhiates

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise … There is no fool so great as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.

Charles Spurgeon

The kind of wisdom that God waits to give to those who ask him is a wisdom that will bind us to himself.

J. I. Packer

Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile.

William Shakespeare

The whole history of the world is discovered to be but a contest between the wisdom of God and the cunning of Satan and fallen men. The outcome of the contest is not in doubt.

A. W. Tozer
