Two Kinds of Wisdom

Title: Two Kinds of Wisdom
Text: James 3:13-18

Notes:

Earthly vs. Heavenly Wisdom

• Knowledge = information
• Wisdom = knowledge in motion; learning to apply what you know, or what you believe about what you know.

Earthly wisdom is corrupt.

• Rooted from:
  The wisdom of man (we act on what we see)
  Unspiritual (lacking God's authority)
  Demonic (same used by the demons)
• Results:
  False to the truth (God is the authority)
  Disorder (confusion)
  Every vile practice (we become the judge of right and wrong)

Heavenly wisdom is incorruptible.

• "It's not about me!"
• Know and follow the root source
  If God is the authority, then we are to follow Him
• Harvest of righteousness = to love God and to love people
  Our mission: To Know Christ and Make Christ Known
