Bringing Wisdom to Work
God gives you practical wisdom for the workplace and helps you navigate your work and work relationships well. God gives you wisdom to respond to those in authority over you. God gives you wisdom to know that whatever happens, God has reasons, and those reasons will lead you to new depths of character and trust . . . and even more wisdom.
The Balance and Behavior of Wisdom
The very first step in getting wisdom is wanting to get the wisdom of God. It's a matter of life and death. Left to ourselves we'll pursue perfectionism. We'll become paralyzed by dishonor and criticism. We'll become proud in our knowledge and intellectualism. We'll get wasted in the emptiness of hedonism.Wisdom will draw you to the Creator of wisdom, and the giver of wisdom, and the word of God's wisdom -- which points to the gospel of wisdom.

There have been many notorious sell-outs and traitors in history. But none of them are quite as infamous as Judas Iscariot.

Where did he go wrong? And more to the point, as far as we're concerned, what are the warnings for us in this account?
