“Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions.”
Facts are just an inconvenience to foolish people. The number one pillar of a biblical worldview is that God’s word is true, it’s infallible. It’s fact. Every social ill can be traced to dismissing, ignoring or just being ignorant of God’s opinion...
“The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the heart.”
At the start of my ministry, over 40 years ago, a friend took me aside and told me the main thing I needed to watch for that could disqualify me from ministry. My mind flashed on a number of issues that had recently destroyed ministers and their m...
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”
I recently shared with one of our founders what I believe God is leading our ministry to add over the next few months. He is a good friend and very successful business leader. I received this text from him shortly after our visit, “Pray to the Lor...
“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
When I grew up trolls were “a being in Nordick folklore. In Old Norse sources, beings described as trolls dwell in isolated areas of rocks, mountains, or caves, live together in small family units, and are rarely helpful to human beings.” (Wikiped...
“Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips.”
It is impossible to be completely unimpaired by the voices we allow into our heads. When we hear foolishness over and over it will muddle our thinking. The really dangerous version of this comes when we are so inundated by foolish talk that we don...
“Righteousness guards the person of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.”
Over the years I’ve seen men and women of integrity attacked. Not physically but by people determined to hurt them by damaging their reputation. It is painful to watch but extremely painful to go through. When they try to defend themselves it come...
“Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.”
Last year Calvary Heights wrote this about this passage, “One person has an AFFECTION for Perfection, which is why he LOVES instruction. The other person has an AFFECTION for Preservation, why is why he HATES reproof.” Thats an interesting perspec...
“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.”
The most successful people I know tend to be very humble. Over time I’ve discovered that most often the humility reflects that they genuinely don’t have time or see any value in prideful behavior. There might even have been a time when a little pr...
“The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.”
Very few people have wealth to the point that their children and grandchildren will never need to work. There are some but it is a rare exception. The wise ones who do don’t let it get in the way of training their children in a strong and Biblical...
“Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars.”
As we see so often in Proverbs and reiterated in the book of James in the New Testament, God is neither hiding nor hoarding His wisdom. He offers it generously to all including the gullible and the slow. He wants all of us to receive it freely. Th...
“I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.”
The two greatest fears of today’s young person is that they will never be loved and they will never be able to love. I believe that is not just teens. I find that overwhelmingly sad. The good news is that they are in the perfect position for an en...
“Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.”
If I could memorize well I’d probably be a lawyer. Thankfully a Political Science and Counseling Psychology majors did not require much memorization. In other words it’s not my thing. However over the years I have learned the incredible value of h...
