In the era we live in today, a substantial amount of time is devoted to the development of human intelligence and to the material things around us. We depend on government's secular laws and regulations to help provide our code of proper conduct. Those in elective offices of government enact the laws and regulations which attempt to make available the best standards for citizens. But throughout the history of mankind such standards have often led to wars and other immoral practices. Secular laws and regulations determined by those in power often conflict with other standards within a country and with the standards of other nations. In that environment, we can lose sight of the knowledge that provides humans the best wisdom. Our Creator is the source of spiritual wisdom and that wisdom is the best standard for the governance of humans on earth. The foundation of spiritual wisdom is the love of God above all else and loving our neighbor as our self. From the wisdom of the writers of the old and new Testaments of the Bible, we are told that our soul is the source of wisdom which provides humans with the best moral standards of conduct. Spiritual wisdom is to some degree the antithesis of human intelligence and materialism, and receives far too little attention in the world today. It is spiritual wisdom that provides the ultimate joy and happiness in this life and life hereafter.
