"Confidence & Humility"
James 3:13-18
Pastor Bryan Eckelmann
We live in a world filled with knowledge, but wisdom is different. Knowledge comes from information. Wisdom comes from ... humility. To most, that would be a huge surprise. In a remarkably modern description, James tells us that wisdom that springs from (so called) "confidence" is false wisdom. Instead, James tells us how to seek - and how to discern - pure wisdom.
