Wisdom at it's most simple and basic is much like the proverbial hot stove. When told to touch that stove, the person touchs it and gets burned. Knowledge is gained and they never touch it again. The next time they are told to touch the stove, they stay away from it's flame. The unwise (foolish) extends their hand into the flame once again. They did not learn. They will probably even repeat their error again and again.
The truly wise person doesn't even have to touch the stove. They actually learned by observing the other person... with the burnt hand! They know that what happened to the other one will most probably also happen to them self.
This is how the most intelligent generation can also have the least wisdom. We are burning our self over and over again. Once again I repeat... intelligence and wisdom are two separate traits.

About the Composer
- tAaOS
- In those wee hours of the morning; in those quiet, private times spent with the Lord; in those times of prayer and faithfully studying His word; that was when the Alpha & Omega Suite came to it's composer. This didn't happen instantaneously, but slowly and consistently over the course of nine years, beginning in 2000 and going through 2008. Accuracy to God's Word was more important than finishing the Suite quickly, which is a process that flies in contrast with the way things are normally done in our throw-away, media-centered culture. But, when dealing with the concept of God, it's important that our proclamation is based upon what He has revealed of Himself and not on the imaginations of fallen humanity.
