Counsel Wisdom

'The two foes of human happiness are pain and boredom.' Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century because his humanistic, atheistic, if pessimistic views chimed with a new secularism that was emerging from a Western society dominated by religion. Despite his rather forbidding image (and a few outdated views), he is one of the most approachable German philosophers, and this is certainly evident in these two key works, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims.

Godly parents and educators ponder how they can practically help their child turn from being a foolish youth to becoming a wise lover of Christ (Proverbs 1:22-23). Though no parent can transform a child’s spiritual heart, all believing parents are called to discipline their children in wisdom so that God can convert them to be wise (Proverbs 1:8; 13:1). In fact, godly discipline and wisdom should be viewed as inseparable (e.g., Proverbs 1:2; 7-8). Sadly, the beauty and unmatched benefit of biblical discipline has become so perverted by unbiblical and secular influence that not only is ...

Each chapter and verse should call you to action as you heed the truth in the 915 “verbs” in this wise poetic book.

“Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” THERE is but one kind of armour, brethren, which, after all is done, proves of any value, and that is the armour of God. It is only through putting on of this that a man, or a nation, is able to do that which the Apostle desires here that the Ephesians maybe enabled to do—namely, “to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." It greatly behoves, therefore, all those who may believe that such an evil day is coming, earnestly to inquire ...

It has been stated that a person should study the book of Proverbs if he or she wants to be wise. Accordingly, the book of Proverbs has been organized into thirty-one different chapters. That means that a person can read a chapter in the book each day based upon the numerical date of the month. For example, on the first day of the month, one would read the first chapter in the book of Proverbs. On the second day of the month, he or she would read the second chapter. If a person were to do that for an entire year, then he or she would read the whole book of Proverbs twelve times every year ...

We encounter many complicated problems every day. Knowing where to go, what to do and how to do it can be overwhelming. The wisdom of the world is grossly inadequate to address these problems. This is because humans are limited in their abilities and resources. However, God is limitless. Furthermore, the ways of God and the ways of humans is entirely different. God alone is wise. Biblical proverbs are words of wisdom derived from God, and thus they provide us with godly wisdom for daily living. Wisdom involves the appropriate application of information and the most effective utilization of ...
