THE REAL MEANING OF LIFE

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/10.htm I am not perfect by any means. But I can tell you that my father indirectly led me to be upright. My father lived through the depression. He was a hard worker, dropping out of school in the 6th Grade to go to work to help support the family. He used to talk about the economy, about how he earned 25 cents a day, but that he could buy a pair of overalls for… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/9.htm “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”; or as I prefer to read it, “The awe of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”. Many disagree with me, and I’ve said this many times before and I’ll keep saying it, there is no reason to fear the Lord. Either the authors had a misconception of God, or the translators of the modern Bible missed their mark, but God should not be… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/8.htm One of the reasons I like the New King James Version, is that they capitalize all of the pronouns referring to God. Whenever God says something, for example, “Take care that you obey My commands”, I automatically know that it is God speaking because the pronounce (is it a pronoun?) “My” is capitalized. It is the same for “Me”, “My”, “Our” (when referring to the Trinity), and others. Obviously if you own a red… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/7.htm Sexual immorality. We’ve sure been spending a lot of time talking about adultery and harlotry. Must be pretty important to the Lord, huh? I hear fellow Christians all of the time say, “We are not saved by works. We are not saved by works!” Yes that is true, but we will sure be damned without them. And in Proverbs 7, Verse 3, “Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/6.htm If you make a promise, keep it. If you can’t keep it, don’t make it. Throughout the Bible, we see examples of people who have taken vows, and to God, a vow is solemn. Some have broken their vows, many have kept them. Remember Jephthah, who vowed to God that if he was given victory in war, he would sacrifice the first thing he saw when he returned home, and that thing happened to… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/4.htm Father, we pray that you open our hearts and minds to instructions, we ask that you send Your Holy Spirit into us to teach us the Truth. Amen. Proverbs 4 talks everything about wisdom, how life will be good to you if you possess it and what life will be like if you ignore it. And in these first chapters, Solomon is giving a prelude to his individual proverbs, because if you first do… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/3.htm Good Morning! It’s a beautiful morning here in southcentral Kansas, the sun is shining, the beautiful blue sky that our Father created are gorgeous, and we’ve had an unusually warm February and tuffs of green grass are just starting to sprout. I can remember when there were just three channels on the television. There were movies on Saturday night, a Disney movie on “The Wonderful World of Disney” on Sunday nights, and other than… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/2.htm When I read this proverb, my mind immediately went back to Adam and Eve. Genesis 3, Verse 4: Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” What is God was not worried that man would know good and evil and “be like God”,… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/1.htm Happy Sabbath! I wish I could review each and every proverb, but there simply isn’t time for that. So as usual, we’ll hit the high notes that God moves me to discuss. One of the hardest things in life is for a child to obey their parents. Once they start to comprehend things, they are in their “terrible twos” where they start to test the water. Then there is a good spell until they… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/proverbs/1.htm It’s no wonder our intelligence is declining. I lookup up the definition of a “proverb”, and the definition was “to speak proverbally” or to “offer a proverb”. Well, that was a big help! Thankfully, they offered synonyms, one of which fit, in my opinion. Maxim, Noun, (synonym of proverb): a general truth, fundamental principle, or a rule of conduct. Now we’re getting somewhere. So the Book of Proverbs contains, truth, principles, and conduct instruction.… Continue reading
