HEBRAIC THOUGHT

                       
  "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His
  precepts have good understanding" (Psalms 111:10).

  Education is a high priority in any society that wants to advance.
  Education should be sought after by every believer in Jesus Christ in
  order to better understand God's ways. However, education that is not
  mixed with faith and obedience will result in programmatic religion.

  In the early Hebraic church, wisdom was gained by obedience. Hebrews
  learned that wisdom was gained by knowing and doing the will of God and
  that it often did not line up with logic. However, as the church became
  impacted by the Greek culture through the influence of scholars like
  Socrates and Aristotle, knowledge-based systems became more influential in
  the way education was taught and applied. Greeks believed that the way to
  gain knowledge was based on reason and analysis.

  When Joshua walked around the city of Jericho seven times blowing his
  trumpets, he was exhibiting a Hebraic model of decision-making - pure
  obedience. Logic and reason played no part in this decision. When Elisha
  instructed the army general to go wash in a lake in order to be healed of
  leprosy, it confronted his intellect. This was Hebraic thought rooted in
  obedience.

  The Church has moved into a more knowledge-based and programmatic system
  of operation over the centuries, rather than obedience-based methods that
  are motivated by a heart fully devoted to following God. We've replaced
  obedience with reason, logic, and slick marketing for attractive programs
  to entice people into our churches.

  Ultimately, God desires us to take the Hebraic approach when making
  decisions. He wants us to make decisions based on our heart's desire to
  follow Him.
