People have asked the question in the past, of what is thought about some of the modern, more charismatic, televangelist (to use a somewhat dated term) types of preachers? Pay attention to the fact that Paul told us today that his and Timothy’s teaching came “with all wisdom.” While it doesn’t seem right to group these type of teachers into one bag and declare them all no good, at the same time it is important to be wise. Let’s lay out an illustration to try to get the point across. Let’s say someone wanted to be healthy as a person. Now let’s say that person decided to eat a healthy, balanced diet, and that of which caters to the person’s individual needs. We would call that person wise. But we wouldn’t call that person wise, on the other hand, if the person instead decided to eat chocolate cake three times a day, everyday. It seems likely there would be unnecessary weight gain, and not to mention other issues. This is the wisdom we are talking about.
