Wisdom without Knowledge is Destructive

Daniel 12:4 says that “in the end times knowledge will increase.” I thought this was interesting that it just says knowledge and not wisdom.   Wisdom is knowing what to do with knowledge.

My Thought Life

Colossians 3:1-2 Set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits, and think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. When life and politics are getting you down, it is because we are not thinking this way.
