We all seek wisdom, but do we look to the right sources? Human wisdom vs Godly wisdom. Gods wisdom, wisdom found in the Bible, is the ultimate authority. THE primary source of Godly wisdom is His wisdom in the bible. Human wisdom, or worldly wisdom, is often confounded by Gods wisdom. When we compare human wisdom, the wisdom of man and of the world, to Godly wisdom we find points of contention. So who should you believe? God or the latest book from your favorite Christian or non-Christian author?

Now I'm not saying that there isn't any value or anything to be gained from reading books and listening to the scholars, intellectuals, and popular thinkers and writers of past and present. HOWEVER, you need to remember that Gods wisdom is the wisdom that really matters. Wisdom that conflicts with the wisdom and truth in the bible is wisdom to be wary of. Often times books, speakers, and even the greatest thinkers make the mistake of telling us what we want to hear, or what's logical in terms of human wisdom or worldly wisdom.

1 Corinthians 1:18-25 New Living Translation (NLT)

The Wisdom of God

18 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. 19 As the Scriptures say,

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise
and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.”[a]

20 So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish. 21 Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe. 22 It is foolish to the Jews, who ask for signs from heaven. And it is foolish to the Greeks, who seek human wisdom. 23 So when we preach that Christ was crucified, the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it’s all nonsense.

24 But to those called by God to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles,[b] Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God’s weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.
