Two Ways To Live – Proverbs 9 – Part 3 of 3
In this post, the following verse is examined via 3 different Bible commentaries. Proverbs 9:17 “Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.” My reason for posting on this verse is that it is the type of thinking that keeps one stuck in sin; keeps one blind to sin, desiring sin, etc. The commentaries I chose are free commentaries from the Bible software, E-sword; they can also be found at Bible Hub. Using commentaries is especially necessary for new Bible students, because all verses of scripture have one meaning, that which God intended. It is necessary to discover that meaning. Many, speculate erroneously about the meaning of a verse or passage and never find out for sure what it means….
Two Ways To Live – Proverbs 9 – Charles Bridges Commentary – Part 2 of 3
The purpose of this post is to help Christians get some additional insight into their struggles with temptation: lady wisdom represents the call of the Bible vs lady folly, the call of the world.

The Defenders of Censorship Now Admit Everything – Epoch Times
They no longer deny censoring. They have shifted tactics. Now they defend censorship as a policy in the national interest. They are merely stamping out disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation—strange words applied to any thought or idea disliked by government. And they are furious that a federal judge in Louisiana has called them out, issuing an injunction to stop all contacts between government agencies and social media companies. They are livid about this because they had come to believe that the First Amendment was a dead letter already….
Here’s Why the Younger Generation Is ABANDONING God – Ken Ham
In the following 4-minute excerpt, Ken Ham explains why it is that the younger generation is leaving the church. His explanation is the best I’ve ever heard and you won’t hear it from any of the contemporary church leaders, they do not understand the problem. His illustration shows that the social problems we experience are the symptoms of the attacks Humanism has launched against God’s word…. That is, moral relativism, abortion, gay marriage… are symptoms of the real problem. Church leaders and politicians focus on the symptoms and believe they can change society by doing so, Ken Ham’s illustration demonstrates that our leaders are focused on changing the fruit; this problem will not change unless the root is dealt with.

U.S. Ambassador Chris Lu noted in at least two March 2022 speeches that the Biden administration backs the emergency platform, along with numerous other proposals included in “Our Common Agenda.” … If the emergency platform is approved, the United States as we know it could cease to exist. That sounds dire, but it’s true. We either stand for freedom now or risk everything come September 2024.
