For the turning back of the simple from teaching will be the cause of their death, and the peace of the foolish will be their destruction. But whoever gives ear to me will take his rest safely, living in peace without fear of evil. (Proverbs 1:32, 33 BBE) Something that comes across clearly in the […]
Read More 16MTP 01 – Wisdom Is a Matter Of ChoiceThere is a flow to it as I see it. 2016 started off with an exploration through the book of Exodus. It was a journey that truly challenged me to the core as to my identity in Christ. The slave mentality, the need for deliverance, the importance of the presence, clear instructions and guidance, intimacy […]
Read More Wise UpWonders. By the very word these are supposed to be what attracts people because of the brilliance within that produces the beauty without. They are wonders as we consider how they are what they are and how they last through the tests of time. There are scenes of nature and constructs of man that people refer to […]
Read More Wisdom Produces WondersTwo things I ask of you, Lord ; do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord ?’ Or I may become […]
Read More Keeping God CentralFor some reason in society we still get it wrong. Some get it wrong by believing that it’s important to really make the most of yourself. Anything other than emphasising the positives is considered weakness. It’s all about letting everyone else know that I am the best and if there’s any reason to think otherwise […]
Read More Lowly In SpiritWhoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. (Proverbs 28:13) Growing up, I was very accustomed to a culture of concealment. People showed what they wanted to show to keep up appearances. In church gatherings people had no problems doing the praises and hand waving and all that stuff. […]
Read More Confess Or ConcealAs iron sharpens iron,so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17 This is not going to be a long one. (To which the crowd go wild.) It’s worth thanking God for good relationships. I am a better person today because of my interaction with some brilliant people. People who cause sparks to fly as I engage […]
Read More Sharpening Each OtherThe Bible is made up of various books written by various characters coming from various backgrounds. What I love about the collection of books, however, is how often you come across straight talk. Take for instance the first 11 verses of Proverbs 26. If being a fool was in anyway attractive to you, or you […]
Read More In Whose Eyes?Jesus – what a guy. Don’t invite Him over to a dinner party if you want a quiet time. He accepts an invite to a dinner at the crib of ‘a prominent Pharisee’. It’s an invite to a meal. Now decent manners would suggest you don’t call too much attention to yourself. Enjoy the hospitality, respect […]
Read More Don’t Exalt YourselfIt was his way of saying he agreed. Or it was good. Or he understood. Just the one word. Sweet. He said it so often it began to annoy some of the other learners. Eventually they could guess when he was going to say it and said it with him or soon in advance of […]
