THE THIRD GREAT PRINCIPLE OF FAILURE

"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefor, get wisdom." Proverbs 4:7

For a while during the 1970's, a new Christian school opened in the United States every seven hours. It was a common practice in those schools to get rid of Godly teachers who offended ungodly parents by making their children behave. As a result, these school kept ungodly students while losing Godly teachers. Today, the majority of those schools have folded.

I have mentioned freshmen who arrive at a Bible college and learn that there are only a few dozen students, and that the faculty are church staff. Incredibly, most of them stay, even after realizing that they were deceived.

I am amazed at the number of Christians who dislike their churches, but won't leave because their church forbids them. Stuck and unhappy, they waste years with no spiritual growth or success.

It is incredible how many servants of Christ cripple and destroy their own ministries by doing something stupid. No matter how Godly you are, without wisdom you're headed for failure.
