God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 24:23b-27 like a kiss on the lips
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 24:23b-27 A city gate in ancient times was no mere archway or sliding portcullis. It was often a small, secure building, usually built so that a person entering the city had to make a right-hand turn in order to pass through the city wall, so that a right-handed attacker would […]

GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 24:8-10 and 11-12 8 He who plans to do evil will be called Baal of wickedness. Our culture is fascinated by grifters and conmen. We flock to movies about them, from The Sting to Oceans 11. We admire their ingenuity and their genius. However, the basic flaw with the […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 24:5-7 A wise man is truly strong
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 24:5-7 We return now to Proverbs to ponder the remainder of chapter 24. Verse 5 is one of the more difficult verses in the book.

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU COLOSSIANS 2:18-19 18 Do not let anyone disqualify you of the reward by delighting in false humility and the worship of angels, taking a stand on what he has seen.

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 85:4-7 4 Restore us again, O God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us. 5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations? 6 Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? After such […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 85:1-3 You covered over all their sins
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 85:1-3 Psalm 85 This Psalm divides neatly into two parts. First there is a confession faith in God’s saving acts, and then there is a response to God’s salvation. It would be simple and by no means simplistic to say that here we have justification and sanctification divided only by […]
