Proverbs 1:8-19 – The Effects of Wisdom and Folly

This, the first of the father’s lectures, introduces us to some of the crucial distinctions between wisdom and folly. Wisdom comes to us in the form of teaching and instruction, and so it may not look particularly appealing. However, it yields a harvest of social honour and moral beauty. Folly, contrastingly, looks enticing but in the end yields destruction. This is the boomerang effect of folly: when we act foolishly, in the end we hurt ourselves. Fools lie in wait for their own blood.

C H Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Thoughts for June 27

Today, he emphasized two very common problems: compromise, in his morning thoughts; and calling in his evening thoughts. Since he was such an excellent biblical preacher, his words are very worth considering. As I read his morning thoughts, I thought of how the church is compromising with the CRT and LGBTQ movements; and of how liberalism has been an issue for over a hundred years, Spurgeon himself fought against it in his writings. His evening thoughts deal with callings, the common errors new converts make [an 11-minute MacArthur video on Spurgeon’s ‘downgrade controversy’ is linked]

Introducing Wisdom | Proverbs (1:1-7) – Pastor Kyle Johnston

This video is the first of 12 in a series: Study on the book of Proverbs, chapters 1-9. The videos range from 9-14 minutes in length, this is the longest video. I found the last video of this series because I wanted to blog on Proverbs 9 and after listening to it, I decided it would be beneficial to me and interested readers to blog the entire series for reasons that will become apparent in this video. Video highlight points precede this lesson. ADDITIONALLY, this post contains a reading from John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion to explain the necessity of a believer knowing who he/she is in relationship to God

The Inflationary Pillaging of America – Epoch Times Commentary

It’s been three and a half years from the start of the inflationary menace to the current plight of the dollar relative to its purchasing power. And please, as you read this, keep in mind that when we speak of the value of the dollar, there are two ways this is measured. The first is its value against the goods and services it can buy. The second is its value against the other currencies it can buy. These are too often conflated. It is massively important to take this into account because otherwise the headline news can be extremely confusing. When reporters go on about the strong dollar, they are referring to its value against other currencies…. You might have thought you were getting a great gift when the government started dropping thousands of dollars into your bank account. It was a head fake for the ages, a clear example of the government’s using clever tricks to get your support for its own plot against your well-being….

President Trump, Bud Light, Target, and the LA Dodgers – Newt Gingrich – Epoch Times Commentary

Millions of Americans’ negative reactions to the indictment of President Donald Trump are not all related to his personal appeal. They are responses to the cultural civil war being waged by an aggressive, immoral, and potentially dictatorial elite minority. There is a parallel between what is happening to President Trump and the American people’s rejection of woke brainwashing. Do not be confused: The Biden team would force Americans to buy Bud Light, shop at Target, and applaud the LA Dodgers’ celebration of an anti-Christian hate group if (or when) they could.

God Hates A Liar – Grace Digital Network

The video in this post is a thorough biblical critique of liars. In our day, lying is seen as part of interacting with others. Our leaders do not even seem to care if their lies are known. And they are not ashamed of lying…. On the other hand, truth is vehemently opposed. Those same leaders are making laws against truth and it is central to their mission to punish righteousness…. The following video reveals what God thinks about lying and liars: 

1 Corinthians 9:24 …So run that you may obtain it [the imperishable prize]

This post contains a thoughtful video short on 1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.
A race is being run and it is easy to notice the effort each runner is putting into winning. The apostle Paul used that analogy regarding the Christian life. I was greatly convicted as I watched this video, but also inspired….
