Are Christians Blind Sheep?

I know that a lot of people think Christians are kind of stupid to believe what we believe. They picture us as uneducated and like sheep who follow our pastors and churches and don't think or study for ourselves. 

People who think this are wrong for the most part. There are Christians who don't study the Bible for themselves, but I would think that is a minority. What we have found in the Bible and in God is a knowledge and wisdom of what is important in the great scheme of life. The more we know God, the more we can see his goodness and the wisdom in all that he does. We see the reason for our existence, which most people are confused about. The closer we get to God, the more the direction and aims of our lives fall into place. 

Sometimes we are confused, sometimes we doubt, but we can go to God with our questions and He will answer them all. One of my greatest joys is asking God the why of something, waiting for an answer and then getting the answer. I love knowing He cares about all my thoughts. 

When I read the Bible, I can see the great wisdom of God because if all the people in the world followed His teachings they would be peacemakers, benevolent to the poor, helping the sick, giving without thought of getting back. There would be no war, poverty or hunger. We would all share what we have with each other. There would be no murder, no stealing, and no hatred. There would be justice and love for all people. 


Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.—PROV.3:13.

Whoso finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor of the Lord.

Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might: . . . but let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord.—The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yes doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.—In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.—Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

Christ Jesus, . . . is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.

He that wins souls is wise.
