The Wise, the Unwise, and the Otherwise (Part One)
If God promised to give you anything you asked for…what would you choose? Chuck Swindoll explains why we ought to desire wisdom above anything else.
The Wise, the Unwise, and the Otherwise (Part Two)
It is virtually impossible to separate truth from the one who teaches it to us. That's why James begins the third chapter with a warning—don't swell the ranks of teachers!
