Why Does God Do Nothing?

The Wellspring of Wisdom
Tim Keller | September 26, 2004
Overview
Most of the situations you face in life aren’t covered by moral rules: “Do I say something, or do I wait? Do I act, or should I be more passive?” The rules don’t cover those things. And yet, you will sink, and the people around you will sink, unless you get wisdom.
Wisdom is not having a technique for making choices. Wisdom is having the character of mind and heart that enables you to make the right choices. How do you get that character?
Proverbs 4 shows us 1) how this character develops, 2), where this character comes from, and 3) how character can be transformed.
