“WE EXIST TO PROCLAIM THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL THINGS; GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!”
Wisdom to Live By: A Study In Proverbs
“Wisdom to Live By!” Clearly, there are many verses and passages in God’s Word that speak about conflict and how to resolve it in a way that honors the Lord and brings peace among those who are struggling to be reconciled with one another.

“Wisdom to Live By!” Pride is a roadblock to grace! You can be proud of a job well done and be thankful to God for giving you the opportunity and skills and strength to accomplish something that is good for you and others, and thus has the potential to glorify God as you testify to His work within you … but pride…

“Wisdom to Live By!” GOD is real!!! The God who created the universe, including the earth and the solar system in which this planet exists, holds all things in His hands and sees all things and knows all things. Yet, “the fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God!’” (Psalm 14:1). Rejecting the God who created them, people fashion for themselves…
“Wisdom to Live By!” It is an admirable goal: “ … one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all,” but the ideal is not realistic as we live in this world. Mankind, including every man, woman and child, is too deeply affected by our sinful rebellion against God. All of our attempts to establish “a more perfect union” have been…
“Wisdom to Live By!” Friendship is something we all have experienced, yet sadly is often undiscussed in our society. We take friendships for granted and look to social media to bolster the number of friends we have.
