Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person. That's what I want us to think about from this text, and it will take us both this morning and this evening to do it. In fact we will only cover the first this morning and the other four tonight. The goal of walking in wisdom.
Wisdom is the use of knowledge to reach worthy goals.
Having knowledge and using knowledge are very different. Wisdom is being able to take what you know and make use it to reach worthy goals. So wisdom has worthy goals in view. Now what is the goal of walking in wisdom toward outsiders. Wisdom aims at winning outsiders to Christ.
