Matthew 11:16-19
16 “But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions, 17 and saying: ‘We played the flute for you, And you did not dance; We mourned to you, And you did not lament. 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
Many will not hear God's word because they don't hear what they want to hear. Unless the one speaking for God aligns the messages to dance to the world's tune of anti or extra-biblical teaching, we are not playing along with them. But true wisdom is validated by the eternal outcome - is what is said or written by men true according to God's word (all of it), and does it glorify God? Wisdom then brings peace from God.
