THE END RESULT FOR “RELIGIOUS BUT FOOLISH” MEN AND WOMEN

by Bill Elliff February 14, 2024

The church is often, sadly, a microcosm of the world. Many churches contain both wise and foolish men and women. Jesus was the one who declared that there would be both “wheat and tares” even in the church, i.e., people who were genuine believers and those who professed to be believers but were not.

HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT?

HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT?

by Bill Elliff June 08, 2023

Wisdom is a product of insatiable desire. Solomon, who at least at one point was the wisest man on the face of the earth, gave instructions to his son and all of us about how to gain wisdom. A foolish man could care less about this type of instruction because he thinks he is wise on his own. He does not know that wisdom is something that must be gained. And it is gained only when it is sought with aggressive tenacity.

TEACHABILITY

TEACHABILITY

by Bill Elliff February 10, 2023

All of life is a classroom. God’s creation, Word, Spirit, and people (the church) are constantly speaking if we will hear. His voice is all around us. Prayer is the avenue of His most intimate communication with us. Like radio waves constantly filling the air, all we need do is dial in with a humble heart, and we will begin to hear. We are to be lifelong learners, and everything we need for this process is before us.

THE INVALUABLE TREASURE OF A WISE MAN

THE INVALUABLE TREASURE OF A WISE MAN

by Bill Elliff November 22, 2022

The older I get, the more I value wisdom. When I encounter a wise man, it is like gold. I want to be around them. I never leave them without gaining something valuable. To brush across their life is to touch something Divine. They make the richest deposits in every life they encounter without knowing what they have done. The sweet, reasonableness of their life makes others long for the same.

THE FIRST STEP TO WISDOM

THE FIRST STEP TO WISDOM

by Bill Elliff June 22, 2022

A wise man is not only knowledgeable but has the unique ability to apply the right truth at the right moment in the right way. He is the one you seek when you don’t know what to do. He is the one who speaks little in a meeting, but when he opens his mouth, he has the word that everyone has been waiting for; that clarifies the entire issue in a sentence. As opposed to the brashness of the arrogant, his words carry a depth and solidity and warmth that is unusual and profound.

ARE YOU WISE?

by Bill Elliff January 10, 2022

There are many people who have some knowledge, but few who possess real wisdom and true understanding. We can confer degrees and applaud human thinking, but those we consider the most knowledgeable can be completely devoid of wisdom. Their learning, without God, can make them utterly foolish.
