Often we have difficulty understanding what wisdom is. It isn’t knowing the facts. It isn’t about being a genius. It is about knowing and understanding a truth so much that it drives your very decisions and the life you live. Someone with wisdom makes good choices, wise choices.

Today I was thinking about leadership. Leadership in government, as well as leadership in the Church. I have read books regarding various qualities that Church leaders should have. But does the Bible give us any indications of qualifications for civic leadership?
This weekend I was thinking about some of the things that Jesus said about children. The things that jump out the most to me are when he tells adults to be like children. We often hear phrases like “Grow up.” or “Act your age.” I may hear them more than most, but I am guessing everyone has heard something along these lines as they were growing up.

: Evan - I am actually preparing to write some more Theological items. I want to write more on this front, but primarily I write about what I am thinking the most about, and lately I am thinking about the Election in November, so I am writing about that a bit more lately.
: Like the new site. Write about whatever you want. After all, it is theBristows.com not Evan.com. I do love Christ, though. I do not love Politics. I do love Politicians. I love lamp.
: You need to write more about Christ, and less about all of this political nonsense. Nice site.
: This is like the Wall on Facebook. It allows you to leave a comment for the site, rather than a specific blog post.
