Simple Wisdom: Biblical Guidance for Practical Living is a series of three sessions designed to keep adult formation active in the church during the summer months. Vacations and other changes in routine do result in lower participation, but I have found keeping a simplified, practical study offering in place a rewarding thing to do. The effort is helpful to those who partake, and the smaller groups make for more intimate, fruitful discussion (and I have always resisted the notion that large numbers are a measure of the value of what we do in the life of the body of Christ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This small series on simple wisdom is comprised of three sessions I like to use sometime in mid-July to easily August. Each are structured on a straightforward process of drawing on our shared experience to explore the difficulties and success in each area of life, exploring things we can find in scripture that might help, and then applying that biblical wisdom to the challenges we face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
