Philosophy

Philosophy seeks to answer life’s deepest questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is truth? While human wisdom can offer insights, it will always fall short without the revelation of God. The greatest thinkers have pondered the meaning of life, yet only in Christ do we find answers that satisfy the soul and endure for eternity.

The Apostle Paul warned that philosophy without Christ can become empty and deceptive, leading hearts away from the simplicity of the gospel. Wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord. When we align our thoughts with His truth, our reasoning becomes a tool for glorifying Him rather than exalting ourselves.

Scripture declares, “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19 NKJV). Human philosophy may search, but divine revelation transforms. God is not just an idea to be studied; He is the living Truth to be known.

Quote
