Have we ever wondered who the "really smart" people in our society are?1) The "really smart" people are the "think and do" folks who the Apostle Paul describes as being humble enough to "live in harmony with each other" and are not "too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people" (Romans 12:16 NLT). Not having a closed mind, they can successfully interact and converse with, not only with the lowly custodian, but with the high-ranking CEO as well (come to the table).
2) They are the people who are not impressed with their own wisdom (Proverbs 3:7), but seek to know and understand God's wisdom (Proverbs 2:1-9), allowing Him to direct their paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
3) They are the free and critical thinkers (see here) who are really the true minority of our society.
4) They are the people who believe that true education promotes the ability to think critically in order to protect oneself from falsehood and lies (see here and note Acts 17:11).
5) They are the people who realize and teach the importance of biblical education to their children, and then home school them to emphasize that importance.
6) They are the people who make personal application of the spiritual principles and precepts found in God's word ...... the Bible (see here and here).
Conversely, the not-so-smart people on the other side of the coin have been deemed by God as being "fools" (Psalm 14:1; Psalm 53:1; Romans 1:18-22).
