Every man is being shaped by some kind of wisdom. However, the key question is – what type of wisdom is guiding us? Scripture doesn’t suggest every form of wisdom produces a better, more flourishing life. In fact, it warns us of the opposite condition – that we ought to be mightily aware of the possibility that we may be digesting and guided by worldly wisdom, which eventually leads to our own downfall, devastation, and death – yet it will feel so satisfying going down.

At the end of his earthly ministry, Jesus commissioned his followers to embrace a way of life making disciples. He extends that mission to us―a way of life rooted in relationship, focused on mutual growth, intentionality, and transformation as we follow Jesus together. Sadly, the activities and events that dominate many churches too often become an end in themselves and actually distract from discipleship. The Great Commission drifts out of focus of the whole church and becomes outsourced to a spiritual elite.
