Intelligence and wisdom are not the same thing.
They are vast worlds apart (though they are often mistaken for each other).
A highly educated person might not understand there is a difference,
whereas the wise person fully comprehends they're not one and the same.
Our educational systems excel in boosting the intelligence of students but far too often fail in bringing about growth and maturity in wisdom.
The reverse, opposites of intelligence and wisdom are 'uneducated and foolish'.
These opposite cousins can freely be mixed, thus producing...
'Intelligent but foolish'
and
'Uneducated but wise'
When seeking advice, be sure you fully understand what type of advice you actually need! Otherwise, you'll only be hurt in the long run.

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.
