I'm reading a book about the Christian's approach to the internet by Tim Challies called The Next Story. Last night's chapter described how, ironically, a Google Search for the terms wisdom and truth brings up Wikipedia as one of the top two or three references.
With thousands of authors and truth that changes hourly, Wikipedia is hardly reliable.
Where do I seek wisdom? Where should I seek wisdom? I'm inclined toward Proverbs...Psalms...memorizing Scripture.
Sometimes I go to my Grandmothers, both of them mature Christian women. I appreciate and welcome their perspective.
I've realized that my sister might have a different perspective on a situation. I've asked for her insight. She can hold me accountable and speak truth to my ears.
Is it gossip to share one's heart in confidence? Is it gossip to bring a perceived darkness out into the light?
Sometimes I do vent out of anger or desperation.
Is it wrong to for ask for help?
God gave us families and churches to be "the body" - to bring various strengths to each job. He didn't intend for us to have to go it alone.
I'm going to have to look this one up. And not on Wikipedia.
