"Do you ever sit down and wonder what is wrong with the world? Do you ever ask yourself why it is that Christians seem to have so little influence, why they seem to achieve so little, for all their numbers, in putting the world right? To each of those two questions there is ultimately but one answer. It is this: we lack the mind of Christ." J. Arthur Lewis
"Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches." 1 Corinthians 2:13
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways." James 1:5-7
"Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.
She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you.
Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And the years of your life will be many.
I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hindered.
And when you run, you will not stumble. Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; Keep her for she is your life." Proverbs 4:7-13
"Not until we have become humble and teachable, standing in awe of God's holiness and sovereignty...acknowledging our own littleness, distrusting our own thoughts, and willing to have our minds turned upside down, can divine wisdom become ours." James I Packer
"Wisdom in scripture is, broadly speaking, the knowledge of God's world and the knack of fitting oneself into it." Cornelius Plantinga, Jr.
