Who Is Wise?

 (ID: 2583)

Many Christians want to become Bible teachers who help influence the next generation. As the apostle James warns, however, anyone professing to be wise must understand the origins of true wisdom and show his wisdom in good deeds. Alistair Begg considers how James defines wisdom as distinct from knowledge. According to Scripture, true wisdom comes from the Lord, and anyone who would become wise must start by fearing and submitting to Him.
