Just Use Wisdom - Pastor Johnnie Simpson Jr.


In this powerful message, we're called to explore the profound difference between being smart and being wise. Drawing from James 3:13-4:8, we're reminded that true wisdom comes from above and is reflected in our actions, not just our knowledge. The scripture challenges us to examine our lives: Are we gentle, humble, and peace-loving? Do our deeds match our professed wisdom? This isn't about working for salvation but allowing our faith to bear fruit in our daily interactions. The message beautifully connects to Jesus' teaching of being 'wise as serpents and innocent as doves,' emphasizing that godly wisdom is discerning and pure. As we navigate life's challenges, we're encouraged to seek this heavenly wisdom, which can transform our relationships and inner battles. Let's reflect on how we can cultivate this wisdom in our lives, drawing nearer to God, who always draws near to us.
