“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

12 – “Riches … TRUE Riches and its Connection to Wisdom … “

“Wisdom to Live By!” The pursuit of worldly riches seems to be what “the American dream” is all about. Few people are satisfied or content with what they have, and many are caught in the trap of believing that money and things can produce happiness. Yet the misery of those who pursue the things of the world is obvious to those who…

11 – “Conflict Resolution / Reconciliation / Making Peace … it Requires Wisdom!”

“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. God knows what causes conflict and He knows the path to reconciliation … after all, He sent Jesus…

9 – “Rebuke / Correction vs. Stubbornness … Responding to the Lord’s Correction!”

“Wisdom to Live By!” No one enjoys being rebuked or corrected. It means you have done or are doing something wrong, or at least someone believes you are doing something wrong.

The dictionary defines “laziness” as “being unwilling to work or to use energy.” As such, it is seen for the…

5 – “The Foolish vs. The Wise: What Makes the Difference?”

“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…

4 – “Liberty and Justice for All!”

“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…
