In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis continues his study on the subject of Biblical Wisdom and looks to the book of James. In James 3, the Scripture delineates the wisdom of this world from the wisdom that is “from above.” In doing so, James reveals that the tangible fruit of true wisdom is “good deeds.” Wisdom is not so much what we know as it is the translation of applying what we know to how we live. Biblical wisdom manifests itself in a life that is: Pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, merciful, fruitful, unwavering, and not hypocritical (James 3:17).

0:00.0 | Hey guys, my name is Johnny Erdoganus and this is Dialin. |
0:04.0 | In a recent episode, I began a mini series on the subject of wisdom. |

0:50.3 | It's about applying what you know to how you live. |
0:53.3 | Wisdom is not just skilled learning |
0:57.3 | it's skilled living and because of this it's invariably linked to discernment and by discernment |
1:04.3 | remember what spurgeon's definition was discernment is not knowing the difference between right and |
1:09.2 | wrong it's knowing the difference between right and wrong. It's knowing the difference between right and almost right. |
1:14.4 | I like that. |
1:15.5 | Wisdom, as we looked at last time, begins with a fear of the Lord, |

1:26.6 | It is to view God as the Supreme King that upholds the |
