An Encouraging Word

Wise Words are a daily messages, used to encourage and start individals days off with God's words. Starting in 2008, as a way to encourage a co-workers, i started writing emails of God's Love, Grace and Mercy. Now just two years later, i have a emailing list that is reaching hundreds of people. i hope these words serve as a means to encourage and profess God's Work in your life. Thank you, for blessing me and i hope you will be blessed as well.

Wise Words - Knowledge Puffs Up

"Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God.

For us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live." 1 Corinthians 8:1b-3, 6

Working in the education field, i understand and appreciate the importance of knowledge. Education has become the identifier for a polished individual. If you don't have a degree, typically a person is written off as remedial or lower class. A wise man told me, "a smart man is but a fool, because a smart man thinks he knows much, but a wise man knows that he knows nothing." (my father, the original Virgil)
Intelligence is very subjective, but we all can be intellectuals in the school of Love, Compassion, Peace and Mercy. True enlightenment doesn't come from a geometry text book, but from your soul. So friends don't be content in just seeking man made knowledge, but seek God and His righteousness, and see the blessings of true wisdom fall upon you.

God is Love and He Loves you and so do i
