  • Day 2797 Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 112:1-10 – Daily Wisdom
    Feb 13 2026
    Welcome to Day 2797 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2797 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 112:1-10 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2797 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2797 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for Today’s Wisdom-Trek is: Wisdom-Trek: The Mirror Image – The "A to Z" of the Godly Life. Today, we are stepping into the second half of a magnificent diptych. We are trekking through Psalm One Hundred Twelve, covering the entire poem, verses one through ten, in the New Living Translation. To understand the beauty of this psalm, we must remember where we stood yesterday. In our previous trek through Psalm One Hundred Eleven, we studied the "A to Z" of God. That psalm was an acrostic poem—meaning each line began with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet—celebrating the perfect works of Yahweh. It described Him as "gracious and compassionate," a Provider of food, a Keeper of covenants, and a God whose works are "truth and justice." Psalm One Hundred Eleven ended with a bridge: "Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom." Today, Psalm One Hundred Twelve picks up exactly where that verse left off. It is the "twin brother" of the previous psalm. It is also an acrostic poem, following the exact same alphabetical structure. But there is a twist. If Psalm One Hundred Eleven was the "A to Z" of God’s Character, Psalm One Hundred Twelve is the "A to Z" of the Godly Person’s Character. The psalmist is doing something profound here. He is using the same vocabulary, the same structure, and even the same phrases to describe the believer that he used to describe God. This is the biblical doctrine of the Imago Dei—the Image of God. We become what we worship. If we fear and delight in a God who is gracious, compassionate, and righteous, we will eventually become gracious, compassionate, and righteous ourselves. So, let us look into this mirror and see what a human life looks like when it is fully conformed to the image of the King. The first segment is: The Foundation: Fear and Delight. Psalm One Hundred Twelve: verse one. Praise the Lord! How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands. The psalm begins with the same shout as its twin: "Hallelujah!" ("Praise the Lord!"). But then it moves immediately to the human subject: "How joyful are those who fear the Lord..." (Literally, "Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh"). This connects the dots perfectly. Psalm One Hundred Eleven ended with the "fear of the Lord" as the beginning of wisdom. Psalm One Hundred Twelve begins with the "fear of the Lord" as the source of joy. But notice the balance: "...and delight in obeying his commands." This destroys the idea that "fearing God" means being terrified of Him. In the Ancient Israelite worldview, fear and delight are not opposites; they are partners. "Fear" is the recognition of God’s ultimate authority

  • Day 2796 – Theology Thursday – Top 10 Logical Fallacies That Lead to Bad Theology and Misguided Evangelism
    Feb 12 2026
    Welcome to Day 2796 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Top 10 Logical Fallacies That Lead to Bad Theology and Misguided Evangelism. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2796 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2796 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God’s Word. John’s lessons can be found on his website theologyinfive.com. Today’s lesson is titled Top 10 Logical Fallacies That Lead to Bad Theology and Misguided Evangelism. Theology and evangelism must be grounded in truth. Scripture calls us to worship God with all our heart, soul, and mind. When Christians lean on faulty reasoning, they twist the Word of God and open the door to error. Logical fallacies are not harmless; they often lead to heresy, false conversions, and a compromised witness. The gospel is too precious to be diluted by sloppy thinking. Here are ten common logical fallacies that regularly poison Christian teaching and outreach, along with why they are so dangerous.
    1. Appeal to Emotion
    God created us with emotions, and they can be powerful tools in responding to His truth. But when emotions become the foundation of a theological claim or evangelistic appeal, the message becomes distorted. Frightening people with hellfire or guilt-tripping them into “saying a prayer” is not preaching the gospel. It is manipulating feelings. This may produce outward responses, but it rarely produces genuine repentance. The Holy Spirit uses the truth of the gospel to convict and transform, not emotional spectacle.
    2. Straw Man
    We are called to represent the truth faithfully, and that includes how we handle opposing views. Creating a caricature of someone else’s beliefs just to knock it down is not discernment; it is dishonesty. Saying, “Calvinists believe God delights in sending people to hell,” or “Arminians think they save themselves,” misrepresents those views and violates the command to bear true witness. If we cannot refute what someone actually believes, we have no business opposing it at all.
    3. Slippery Slope
    There is a difference between wise caution and irrational fear. When someone says, “If we allow this doctrinal disagreement, we’ll abandon the gospel next,” or “If women teach children, we’ll soon have drag queens in the pulpit,” they are not contending for the faith. They are avoiding honest discussion. Scripture warns against compromise, but it also warns against making false accusations. We must examine each issue on its own merit, not use fear tactics to shut down thought.
    4. Circular Reasoning
    The Bible is self-authenticating, but it should not be defended with circular logic. Saying, “The Bible is true because it says it is,” may sound spiritual, but it avoids meaningful engagement with the reliability of God’s Word. Scripture invites examination. God has confirmed His Word through history,...

  • Day 2795 Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 111:1-11 – Daily Wisdom
    Feb 11 2026
    Welcome to Day 2795 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2795 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 111:1-10 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2795 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred ninety-three of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for Today’s Wisdom-Trek is: The A to Z of Wonder – Studying the Works of the Faithful God Today, we step off the battlefield of Psalm One Hundred Ten and walk into the study hall of the saints. We are beginning our exploration of Psalm One Hundred Eleven, covering the entire poem, verses one through ten, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek through Psalm One Hundred Ten, we stood in the Divine Council. We saw the Messiah—the Priest-King after the order of Melchizedek—seated at the right hand of Yahweh. We witnessed the promise that He would crush the head of the serpent and make His enemies a footstool. It was a psalm of cosmic warfare, high theology, and future judgment. It was the view from the Throne. Psalm One Hundred Eleven shifts the perspective from the Throne to the Congregation. If Psalm One Hundred Ten was about the King’s power, Psalm One Hundred Eleven is about the People’s praise. It is a response to the victory. It is a quiet, organized, and deeply thoughtful meditation on what God has done. In the original Hebrew, this psalm is an acrostic poem. Each line begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet—Aleph, Bet, Gimel, and so on. It is an "A to Z" of praise. The psalmist is telling us that God’s works are so complete, so perfect, and so orderly that they cover the entire alphabet of existence. Nothing is missing. This psalm invites us to become students. It tells us that the works of God are not just to be glanced at; they are to be "studied." So, let us open our textbooks of grace and begin our study of the works of the Lord. The first segment is: The Council of the Upright: The Context of Praise. Psalm One Hundred Eleven: verse one. Praise the Lord! I will thank the Lord with all my heart as I meet with his godly people. The psalm begins with the shout: "Hallelujah!" ("Praise the Lord!"). But immediately, the psalmist moves from the shout to the heart. "I will thank the Lord with all my heart..." This is wholehearted integration. There is no fragmentation here. His intellect, his emotions, and his will are all aligned in gratitude. And notice the location: "...as I meet with his godly people." The Hebrew phrase here is fascinating: "In the council (sod) of the upright and in the assembly." We have talked often about the Divine Council—the assembly of spiritual beings in heaven. Here, the psalmist uses that same terminology to describe the gathering of believers on earth. The church, the synagogue, the gathering of the saints—this is the earthly counterpart to the heavenly council. Just as the angels gather around the throne to discuss God’s decrees, the...
