Not Many Wise - Part Two

 

There should be a connection between wisdom and results, and this is precisely the point at which the world's wisdom, which is foolishness to God, is found wanting. In recent generations, a great deal of hope was put on the field of psychology and psychiatry, at least ever since Sigmund Freud introduced his theories. Through our great schools of psychology and the training up and practice of psychologists and psychiatrists in their disciplines, we have given ourselves the idea that we have been able to gather data and understand how people function. Yet, it is an obvious fact - to anybody who looks around at our culture - that in spite of this supposed wisdom, we have even more psychological misfits today.
