God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 30:20 the way of an adulteress
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 30:20 20 “This is the way of an adulteress: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’” There are several warnings about the adulteress in the early chapters of Proverbs (2:16-19, 5:3-8; 5:20; 6:24-26; 7:5). Here she appears in contrast to the previous verse and […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 30:18-19 too amazing for me
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 30:18-19 18 “Three things are too amazing for me; four that I do not understand: 19 the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a virgin […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 30:18-19 too amazing for me
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 30:18-19 18 “Three things are too amazing for me; four that I do not understand: 19 the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a virgin […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 30:17 Eaten by vultures
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 30:17 17 “An eye that mocks a father, that scorns to obey a mother will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, and will be eaten by vultures.” This verse teaches the Fourth Commandment in no uncertain terms. The Law of Moses demanded the death of a rebellious […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 30:15-16 Daughters of the leech
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 30:15-16 15 “The leech has two daughters: ‘Give!’ and ‘Give!’” The number of fantasies that have been batted around over the centuries about the “leech” in this proverb are just too many to mention. Suffice it to say that in this comparison, the leech is just that, a leech, a […]
God’s Word for You – Malachi 2:17 Can the Pope be Contradicted?
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU It’s been two weeks since we last visited Malachi. If we remember that Malachi’s physical place in the Old Testament (last) is also his place chronologically, and that his overall theme is “Last Call for Repentance,” we will have the right context to continue. MALACHI 2:17 17 You have wearied the […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 30:10-14 One generation
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 30:10-14 10 “Do not slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you, and you will be held guilty.” This proverb does not fit in with the rest of the ‘numeric proverbs’ unless it is the introduction to verses 11-14. It can stand on its own. In Israel, […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 30:7-9 Ten Commandments in two questions
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 30:7-9 7 “Two things I ask of you. Do not refuse them to me before I die: 8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me. Do not give me poverty or riches, but give me only my daily bread. 9 Otherwise, I might have […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 30:5-6 The flawless infallible Word
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 30:5-6 5 “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield for those who take refuge in him. 6 Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and you will be found to be a liar.” “Flawless” is the result of being refined again and again, […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 30:2-4 the skeptic and creation
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 30:2-4 2 “I am the stupidest of men; I do not have a man’s understanding. 3 I have not learned wisdom. I have no knowledge of the Holy One. No matter what he says, no matter what his argument, the unbeliever labels himself as the stupidest of men because he […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 30:1 A burden
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU The last two chapters of Proverbs serve as a kind of appendix. The beginning of this chapter (30:1-9) seems to be a dialogue with an unbeliever or a skeptic. In God’s eyes, there is no difference. This is followed by a series of proverbs varying in length that describe different kinds […]
God’s Word for You – Mark 10:45 A Ransom for Many
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU MARK 10:45 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” This statement and other statements like it occur in the Gospels (Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45; Luke 21:28; John 3:16) and in the Epistles […]
