Teaching and Admonishing One Another in All Wisdom
July 28, 2008 | By: David Mathis | Category: DG ResourcesThis Week's Sermon: "Teaching and Admonishing One Another in All Wisdom "
(Part 3 of 3 in the series on baptism and church membership)
True wisdom is forged in fires of community.
Those who seek wisdom need God and prayer, no doubt. But the normal context in which God answers his people's prayers for wisdom isn't solitude but relationships.
Cultivating the kind of relational culture in the church that fosters such wisdom is more significant than how baptism and church membership relate—and in the end such community may be what sheds light on a way forward.
The community ethos Paul develops in Colossians 3 is a happy culture of peace and thankfulness, teaching and admonishing, rich in the gospel, and pervasively conscious of Jesus.
