In a new movie plot, the difference between common sense and wisdom.
Common sense is the sense available to all men to solve common problems. It would always make sense to buy three cookies for $1.00 in bulk instead three cookies at $1.00 each and all the cookies are of equal quality.
Yet, the bible says that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
You read the scriptures and you see that there is a common thread with the stories predicated on a loving God who is the one God that provided for those who believed in His existence as the All Knowing and powerful creator.
Many philosophers included references to His existence and acknowledged His worship such as John Locke and Rousseau. James Boswell acknowledged the word of God and Rousseau acknowledged Boswell's questions about fidelity-google that http://books.google.ca/books?id=SmhOfg4TXEUC&pg=PA182&lpg=PA182&dq=james+boswell+and+rousseau&source=bl&ots=k83H4RT7ce&sig=cUi7ABvgAymU5gnlsTBEgG2_zXM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=d1NyUMzKJqjq0gGPt4GADQ&ved=0CC4Q6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=james%20boswell%20and%20rousseau&f=true . The idea is that there is requisite submission and fear to employ not only common sense but wisdom; both political and economic for the benefit of all concerned. Any man to acknowledge the One God but not the record of His relationship with man is a dangerous person.
It has nothing to do with race or colour or ethnicity because the biblical lands of creation are warm, temperate, equatorial lands where the palate of colour is as varied as any artist's canvas.
Christ employed common sense in his ministry; in particular the story of the Prodigal son and the parable of the talents demonstrate this common sense.
So common sense is a good thing. However, any man who denies the scriptures while speaking of common sense has his result. Who is his God and this is asked even if he acknowledges that there is a God or one God. Who is his God and what else shall he deny or ascribe to in furthering his ends when every priest in his eyes is only man after sordid gain. Will that man tell me to deny loving my neighbour and that I should not owe any man anything but love?
Who is that man? He might write very well but I would deny his regular fellowship because it would be a pain and he might struggle in believing in quite a bit since "...greater are those who have not seen and yet still believe."

Keep your wallet close if he sits beside you on the train because his common sense may be to take yours; your wallet and whatever else he calls his common sense!
My last wife had a beautiful son in BorehamWood and she learned this most aptly. He is a loving lad and an excellent defender.
It is the continuing policy of Londinium TV Channel to discuss everything in a light hearted manner and to let everyone know that homosexuals are human beings. It is also to share the gospel. They should be as well respected in public as any bible believing Christian. Hatred is not tolerated against homosexuals and nor should anyone tolerate anyone, including homosexuals, perpetrating crimes of anger, passions and violence.

New!Clean Pure Christlike energy to move 1063 pounds of bricks in one sheer movement using the power of a man's back or horses requires energy.That is all!Abraham had no four wheel engined vehicle but he had faith and common sense to do whatever God demanded of him in a way that was efficient and respectful to all of God's creation of which he was a part.Abraham also had no written law; also true for Joseph or Jacob or Moses when Moses crossed the red sea.All posts are authored by Warren A.Lyon.
