Paul does not mince words; we are living in perilous times, because the “days are evil.” No need to whitewash or dumb it down. Paul’s counsel is pointed, “Be careful then how you live, not as unwise, but as wise.”
To live wisely literally means to be skilled, cultivated, and learned. Do not be anxious or afraid; you have the mind of Christ, the wisdom of God, and the guidance of the Spirit to thrive in these turbulent times. - Pastor Jimmy
