THE CENTRAL QUESTION

What does
wisdom look like?

Biblical wisdom forms a person whose heart, speech, desires, habits, relationships, work, and decisions are governed by the fear of the LORD.

This volume carries doctrine into ordinary life through teachability, self-control, truthfulness, friendship, counsel, household conduct, forgiveness, money, diligence, purity, discernment, suffering, contentment, aging, reputation, and the beautiful wholeness of a wise life.

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.”— Proverbs 9:10

THE DOCTRINAL BURDEN

01

Wisdom begins with God

The fear of the LORD orders knowledge, humility, teachability, motives, and moral perception.

02

Character appears in speech

Truth, restraint, listening, correction, confidentiality, and refusal of gossip reveal the heart.

03

Wisdom governs relationships

Friendship, counsel, marriage, parenting, offenses, forgiveness, and peace require faithful judgment.

04

Wisdom shapes ordinary stewardship

Work, money, desire, purity, suffering, time, aging, and legacy become arenas of godly conduct.
