The Source of Wisdom

A desire for knowledge isn’t necessarily wrong—but it can become wrong when it is divorced from the basis of true knowledge and true wisdom. In the face of our tendencies toward perfectionism, pessimism, and asceticism, Scripture teaches that it is the fear of God alone that is the beginning of wisdom. Such fear, Alistair Begg explains, isn’t something we outgrow once we advance in the Christian life. We need to think of it as a foundation which can never be removed or left behind.

Alistair Begg is Senior Pastor at Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Bible teacher on Truth For Life, which is heard on the radio and online around the world.
