Christian, where do you find wisdom? Do you look within? Or do you find it in the One who created you?

Wisdom, true wisdom, is found in God and God alone. For “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Ps. 111:10; Pr. 9:10), and the beginning of knowledge (Pr. 1:7).

Man’s wisdom is foolishness (1 Cor. 1:20; 3:19), and through the foolish things of the world, God puts the wise to shame (1 Cor. 1:27).

What does God say? “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts” (Isa. 55:9). Why then depend on the wisdom of flesh, o man? Do you believe yourself greater than the One who made you?

Nay. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight” (Pr. 3:5-6).

God gave us wisdom when He gave us Christ. For Christ is become for us “wisdom from God,” as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption (1 Cor. 1:30), and if we are indeed in Christ, then we have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16).

Next time you feel you lack or need wisdom, remember that Christ is our wisdom, and instead of looking within, ask God “who gives to all generously and without reproach” (Jas. 1:5).

"Who of God is made unto us wisdom." 1 Corinthians 1:30

Man's intellect seeks after rest, and by nature seeks it apart from the Lord Jesus Christ. Men of education are apt, even when converted, to look upon the simplicities of the cross of Christ with an eye too little reverent and loving. They are snared in the old net in which the Grecians were taken, and have a hankering to mix philosophy with revelation. The temptation with a man of refined thought and high education is to depart from the simple truth of Christ crucified, and to invent, as the term is, a more intellectual doctrine. This led the early Christian churches into Gnosticism, and bewitched them with all sorts of heresies. This is the root of Neology, and the other fine things which in days gone by were so fashionable in Germany, and are now so ensnaring to certain classes of divines. Whoever you are, good reader, and whatever your education may be, if you be the Lord's, be assured you will find no rest in philosophizing divinity. You may receive this dogma of one great thinker, or that dream of another profound reasoner, but what the chaff is to the wheat, that will these be to the pure word of God. All that reason, when best guided, can find out is but the A B C of truth, and even that lacks certainty, while in Christ Jesus there is treasured up all the fulness of wisdom and knowledge. All attempts on the part of Christians to be content with systems such as Unitarian and Broad-church thinkers would approve of, must fail; true heirs of heaven must come back to the grandly simple reality which makes the ploughboy's eye flash with joy, and glads the pious pauper's heart- "Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners." Jesus satisfies the most elevated intellect when He is believingly received, but apart from Him the mind of the regenerate discovers no rest. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." "A good understanding have all they that do His commandments."

Intro to ‘Restoring the Mind of the Republic’
https://slantedright2.blogspot.com/2025/09/intro-to-restoring-mind-of-republic.html

SUMMARY: In my Baby Boomer Generation (I’m approaching 69 in November) a College/University education was promoted as the pathway to a successful life. … [In] the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, college education transformed from critical thinking into Leftist indoctrination. Today’s divided America is experiencing the fruit of that deceptive transformation. I ran into an interesting essay at TomKlingenstein.com that addresses a reform of College/University indoctrination entitled, “Restoring the Mind of the Republic”. …AN INTERESTING READ!

Oklahoma Introduces Certification Test To Weed Out Far-Left Teachers
Aug 28, 2025 - 07:30 PM
ZeroHedge: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/oklahoma-introduces-certification-test-weed-out-far-left-teachers

This ZeroHedge post begins how Leftist educators brainwash kids to be Woke. THEN goes into how Oklahoma State has an Anti-Woke Teacher Certification process by law. Significant quote:

“The state of Oklahoma has devised a way to prevent future leftist infiltration: A certification test for incoming teachers designed to weed out woke devotees and lay the ground rules for what does and does not cross the line. The test may be applied to all new teachers, or specifically to teachers trained in blue states like California and New York that require progressive indoctrination. The state Department of Education, headed by Oklahoma schools Superintendent Ryan Walters, will implement the new certifications”…Parents should READ ENTIRE POST!

Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

Morning, July 20

"The earnest of our inheritance." Ephesians 1:14

Oh! what enlightenment, what joys, what consolation, what delight of heart is experienced by that man who has learned to feed on Jesus, and on Jesus alone. Yet the realization which we have of Christ's preciousness is, in this life, imperfect at the best. As an old writer says, "'Tis but a taste!" We have tasted "that the Lord is gracious," but we do not yet know how good and gracious He is, although what we know of His sweetness makes us long for more. We have enjoyed the firstfruits of the Spirit, and they have set us hungering and thirsting for the fulness of the heavenly vintage. We groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption. Here we are like Israel in the wilderness, who had but one cluster from Eshcol, there we shall be in the vineyard. Here we see the manna falling small, like coriander seed, but there shall we eat the bread of heaven and the old corn of the kingdom. We are but beginners now in spiritual education; for although we have learned the first letters of the alphabet, we cannot read words yet, much less can we put sentences together; but as one says, "He that has been in heaven but five minutes, knows more than the general assembly of divines on earth." We have many ungratified desires at present, but soon every wish shall be satisfied; and all our powers shall find the sweetest employment in that eternal world of joy. O Christian, antedate heaven for a few years. Within a very little time thou shalt be rid of all thy trials and thy troubles. Thine eyes now suffused with tears shall weep no longer. Thou shalt gaze in ineffable rapture upon the splendour of Him who sits upon the throne. Nay, more, upon His throne shalt thou sit. The triumph of His glory shall be shared by thee; His crown, His joy, His paradise, these shall be thine, and thou shalt be co-heir with Him who is the heir of all things.

Epstein List Debacle is a HUGE Chink in Trump Armor:
YET I Still Support Trump Because Dem-Marxist Tyranny is Far Worse!
https://oneway2day.com/2025/07/08/epstein-list-debacle-is-a-huge-chink-in-trump-armor/

SUMMARY: I want to write upfront, I AM STILL A TRUMP SUPPORTER! But this post definitely will not come across as Trump supportive. There are plenty of issues for MAGA adherents to criticize about President Trump decisions and Trump Administration actions. … BUT THERE IS A BIGGER PICTURE! I am very convinced if Trump’s TOO BIG TO RIG reelection in 2024 had not happened, more MAGA-Patriots would have joined J6ers in prison AND Dem-Marxist Reeducation Camps would…MORE TO READ!

After listening to this episode of @podcast_just, if I had school age children or grandchildren, there is NO WAY I would tolerate their going through the public school system. Your children belong to you, parents...not the school system! Get your kids OUT of public school now!!! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-133-public-education/id1328733796?i=1000702739631

After listening to this episode of the Just Thinking Podcast, I cannot understand how ANY PARENT can allow their children to attend public schools. Education has never been the goal: indoctrination was the end game all along.

I'm glad to see this happening. I voted for this!!! 💪🏾

During a February 20, 2025 White House press briefing, Stephen Miller gave a master class on schooling the press. Unfortunately, he gave them a civics education no more accurate than that coming out of public schools.
