Resurrection Mission Baptist Church of Berkley, Michigan, Oakland County, https://resurrectionmission.com presents Pastor Joseph Chatten discussing contrasts in the Operation of Wisdom

What are the evidences of false wisdom? Selfish ambition and zeal. The wisdom of the world says promote yourself; this is earthly wisdom. Even the Apostles argued over who was the greatest in the kingdom. The Pharisees promoted the praise of men, Matthew 6. We must be sure that our motives are right. 1 Cor. 1:17. The wisdom of God and wisdom of the world conflict. Verse 31, he that glory should glory in the Lord. Is our zeal for the Lord spiritual or carnal? Are you envious of the success of others? That is human fleshly glorification. What does strife mean to you? It is a party spirit. It creates division and rivalry in the church. “Let each esteem others as more imp0ortant than themselves. Pride loves to boast. 2 Cor. 10:12. When God’s wisdom is at work, a sense of humility and grace is present. You see only Christ. Deceit is a lie against the truth, and selfish ambition. Boasting usually involves lies. 1 Cor. 4:5. Meekness is not weakness, it is power under control. Gal. 5:23. Meekness is a gift of the spirit. James 3:3. Meekness is the right use of power, and wisdom is the right use of knowledge. Attitude and action go together. It indicates the importance of purity of life. James 1:19; 3:17; 4:1-2, 4, 8; Luke 6:33; 10:35-37. Thanks for watching! Please like our videos and subscribe to our channel. We appreciate your financial support for this ministry.
