Wisdom allows us to pursue what is good in life, not as judged by our standards but as judged by the Creator. Wisdom allows us to see what is important to God, what values He gives us for our benefit, and it allows Him to teach us how we can pursue them. Wisdom allows us to rightly use knowledge; it allows us to be discerning. Said otherwise, wisdom is knowledge rightly understood.

Tim Challies
Tim Challies (* 1976) ist ein kanadischer Autor, Blogger und ehemaliger Pastor aus Toronto, der dem reformiert-baptistischen Spektrum angehört. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch sein reichweitenstarkes Weblog sowie Schriften zu geistlichem Urteilsvermögen, christlicher Medienethik und persönlicher Trauerbewältigung. Für heutige Bibelleser vermittelt er klassische reformierte Theologie für den Alltag, stößt jedoch mit seinen strikt komplementaristischen Positionen und einzelnen publizistischen Stellungnahmen zu innerkirchlichen Konflikten auch auf Kritik.
