31 Days of Wisdom | Day 11
Reading for today: Proverbs 11:1-31 “Did you hear…?” These three little words have probably destroyed more lives than all the battles of the world combined. The Bible in the book of James calls the tongue the uncontrollable beast, and I have found that to be a very fitting description. It seems like the harder we […]

31 Days of Wisdom | Day 10
Reading for today: Proverbs 10:1-32 One of my favorite names of God is “Yahewh-jireh”, which means “the Lord, our provider.” God has provided in so many ways for us. If you are reading this, you probably have a roof over your head, food to eat, clothes to wear, a few dollars in your pocket, and […]

31 Days of Wisdom | Day 9
Reading for today: Proverbs 9:1-18 How do you respond when people correct or criticize you? Our response reveals a tremendous amount about ourselves. Do you react bitterly and upset, or are you thankful that someone cared enough to show you and error in your ways? Do you take what people say to heart and grow […]

31 Days of Wisdom | Day 8
Reading for today: Proverbs 8:1-36 When I think about this verse, I think about priorities. Is getting wisdom and seeking understanding in God’s Word a priority to you? Is it more important than money? The obvious answer to that last questions would be, “No way! Does wisdom pay the bills!?” But God calls us to, […]

Becoming Wise Starts With a Choice We were so pumped to see two people make the best choice of their lives yesterday, as they made the choice to follow Jesus! And together we were all challenged with several questions from the book of Proverbs as we kicked off The Way Of Wisdom. Do you want […]

31 Days of Wisdom | Day 7
Reading for today: Proverbs 7:1-27 In this Proverb Solomon warns his son about unfaithfulness. In stark and gripping words he paints an incredibly dark and painful picture of what happens to us when we begin to walk down this road which leads eventually to death. How many people do you know who have walked down […]

31 Days of Wisdom | Day 6
Reading for today: Proverbs 6:1-35 Just like there is no way this guy will not get burned carrying fire that close to Him, so you also cannot put yourself in tempting situations and continue not to sin. This wisdom from Solomon reminds us that if we want to stay on the path that God wants […]

31 Days of Wisdom | Day 5
Reading for today: Proverbs 5:1-23 OUCH! Now that one hurts doesn’t it? I remember as a kid thinking, “I got away with that one, no one saw me.” My joy and celebration was brought to an abrupt halt one morning during Sunday School when the teacher told us that God sees everything and that he […]

31 Days of Wisdom | Day 4
Reading for today: Proverbs 4:1-27 I love it! To have something, you have to go out there and get it. Just like we accepted Christ ourselves and no one could do it for us, the same goes for wisdom. You have to seek it out. Search for it. Find it. Where do you find it? […]
