Life On Life

A an old friend of mine, Tim Morrison posted a link concerning the recent tragedy caused by a massive earthquake in Haiti, written by Dr. Albert Mohler of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. You can find Tim’s excerpts here, and the full article over at Dr. Mohler’s site here.  I think Dr. Mohler wrote this [...]

So I laughed out loud this morning when I read Proverbs 15:30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and good news refreshes the bones. Maybe I’m just weird, but here’s why I thought it was funny. If you click the reference (Prov 15:30) it will take you to the verse @  http://bible.logos.com (you can read the [...]

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. ~ Our ways are not God’s ways, so we should seek God when making our decisions. (Isaiah 55:8-9) Proverbs 14:15 The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps. ~ I’m the middle school [...]

I saw this on the International Mission Board site. In case you’ve been under a rock, there was a devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010. They need lots of help. It’s the worst earthquake there in 200 years. Check it out. (Click the picture)

A couple of verses concerning discipline stuck out to me today. Proverbs 13:18 and Proverbs 13:24. Listening to correction leads to discipline. Discipline leads us away from poverty and shame. Good stuff from Proverbs 13 today! The idea of heeding the correction, that develops discipline which leads to love and honor, in contrast to ignoring discipline [...]

Go ahead and finish the line in your head…That song is one of the biggest loads of crap I’ve ever heard. That thought came to mind today when I read Proverbs 12:18. “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Growing up at my house, sometimes I thought yelling was [...]

Proverbs 11 We can definitely get caught up in saying too much (Proverbs 11:12-13)! I’ve been working with my lead Pastor (ok wait…not that he says too much, but working with him in respect to saying “what you think” via social media for the purposes of building the Kingdom!) and he is beginning to see [...]

When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever. Proverbs 10:25 In Proverbs 10:25 and Proverbs 10:30 speak of how the righteous, stand firm and have an established “rooted” foundation. It makes me think of the righteousness I have in Jesus Christ and the foundation that which He [...]

Great post from Pat Rowland over at the 31 Day Challenge. Check it out. He speaks of a great attitude to have. After reading Proverbs 9:8-9 Don’t rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still;teach a [...]

Wisdom. It seems Ellusive. Proverbs 8 describes finding wisdom as finding life . Is wisdom the same as experience? I don’t think so. Making that search for wisdom definitely has to be intentional. I think you get “experience” by default (by just being around a while), where wisdom (stated clearly in Proverbs) has to be [...]
