In my message I said: "Today
we are taking the lid off the game Trivial Pursuit and I want to talk about
priorities. Trivial Pursuit is a board
game in which progress is determined by a player's ability to answer general
knowledge and popular culture questions. You see, its
one thing to be educated, to have knowledge, it is quite another to have
wisdom. Wisdom is the application of knowledge. Wisdom is knowing what to do
with all of that trivial information that is floating around in our brains. And
unfortunately we live in a society that is filled with knowledge and yet
lacking greatly in wisdom. We have a lot of intelligent people that are living
their lives in very trivial ways."
I quoted A.W. Tozer:
"I want deliberately to encourage
this mighty longing after God. The lack of it has brought us to our present low
estate. The stiff and wooden quality about our religious lives is a result of
our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth.
Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His
people. He waits to be wanted. Too
bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain."
