Wise Men Still Seek Him

James 3.13-18

Human knowledge is expanding at a phenomenal pace. REACH OUT . . . But be doers of the word,
and not hearers only,
deceiving yourselves.

AND TOUCH SOMEONE!

Are knowledge and wisdom the same thing? James 1.22

Knowledge is the accumulation of facts.

Wisdom is the ability to use facts ( knowledge ) responsibly.

There is a major problem .

Today, it appears that mans knowledge may have surpassed his wisdom . STAFF CHURCH STREET CHURCH OF CHRIST
