November 6, 2016 (Proverbs 16:25)
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death” (Prov 16:25).

October 30, 2016 (Proverbs 16:2)
“All a man’s ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD” (Prov 16:2). One of the greatest snares for those who come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ is the folly of believing that our own faults are automatically corrected such that a person thereafter walks in righteousness before God. … Continue reading

“He who fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge” (Prov 14:26).

“The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways, and the good man rewarded for his” (Prov 14:14).

“Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe” (Prov 29:25).

This snare is “fear of man” which manifests itself in … Continue reading
October 2, 2016 (Proverbs 3:7,8)
“Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones” (Prov 3:7,8). This continues a series on having a reverential fear of the LORD as a means of living in a manner not only pleasing to God, but ensures … Continue reading
Sept 25, 2016 (Proverbs 14:27)
“The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death” (Prov 14:27). As a continuation of last week’s proverb, this present proverb gives an extremely important and wholesome reason for having a reverent fear of the LORD. It turns a man away from the snares of death … Continue reading
Sept 18, 2016 (Proverbs 14:26)
“He who fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge” (Prov 14:26). A godly fear of the Lord has been described as both a choice and a gift of God imparted by His Spirit. It is a choice in the sense of involving a decision to respond … Continue reading
Sept 11, 2016 (Proverbs 13:24)
“He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly” (Prov 13:24). In a sense, this proverb is a close cousin to that of last week saying that a good man leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren, lest his children gain a sense of entitlement let alone treat their … Continue reading
Sept 4, 2016 (Proverbs 13:22)
“A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous” (Prov 13:22). Here we find among the teachings of Solomon an obscure proverb in terms of present day practice. We tend to consider the matter of inheritance as something left for the succeeding (next) generation … Continue reading
