James 1;
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Do this , as you can see, that if you ask for wisdom from Him....
Romans 10:17

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

What does "upbraideth" mean?

I looked it up. It actually means reprove or admonish. So God will not rebuke us for asking for wisdom.

 

[Nehemiah6]

I find Keller's teaching to be very helpful, but am a little concerned that he may be also putting a bit of a cultural spin into his sermons.

If you are concerned, it means that you should move on.

If you are concerned, it means that you should move on.

Or just lay off for a time and then revisit. Sometime the messenger is to be disregarded but the message may be valid.
