Episode notes
Scripture Creates Wisdom, Not Just Facts
- Scripture aims to create hunger for God and wisdom, not just deliver facts.
- Wisdom means acknowledging reality (God) and living according to it, not merely acquiring information.
Wisdom Is A Lived Worldview
- Wisdom is knowing reality and living into it; information alone doesn't form a worldview.
- The fear of the Lord begins wisdom and the gospel shows how to live within that reality.
Priest, King, Prophet Shape Christian Life
- Scripture invites us into a kingly calling to search and steward truth, not just passively receive facts.
- The priestly, kingly, and prophetic roles shape how believers learn, discern, and proclaim God's reality.
