by reducing the possibility of marital tension here are some of the points tania raised admit vulnerability keep promises rate the art of loving deeply be emotionally honest model discipleship be affirming the question to all of us is what could we be doing differently or better in our relationships with our husbands wives children friends etc or would we rather be holed up in a small corner of the attic because a relationship is not working 1 comment tags marital discord marriage guidance the gathering xiii posted in advice love january 5 2021 paranoid by anthony baker proverbs 21 8 the way of man is froward and strange but as for the pure his work is right the way of the guilty is crooked but the conduct of the pure is upright esv paranoid have you ever known someone who was paranoid people who suffer from paranoia exhibit irrational unwarranted fears that others are out to get them they act evasive stealthy and cautious for example some people wear aluminum caps on their heads in order to keep space aliens from reading their minds little do they realize space aliens have better things to do but one is only paranoid if his fears are unfounded it s not paranoia if someone s really out to get you those who were afraid to use cell phones because the government might be listening aren t considered paranoid anymore are they dodging some people may act a little paranoid but they could have real reasons to fear the one who is running from the law is always the one dodging and swerving constantly on the lookout for blue lights and unmarked cars i used to know a guy who never drove on main roads every time he went anywhere he always took back roads short cuts and scenic routes the reason was because his driver s license had been revoked he wanted to stay off the main roads because he knew the police were after him he was not paranoid he was guilty the man being described in this proverb has something to hide he moves in forward and strange ways not because he is crazy but because he is trying to avoid being caught his evasiveness is a dead giveaway in the open the guilty are always sneaking shifting and dodging in and out of arguments discussions responsibilities and obligations the pure of heart however are predictable and straight never having to fear being found out they know that god is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart heb 4 12 so they have nothing to hide it is so much better to live in righteousness doing what is right allows one to take the main roads the straight roads and the visible to all roads many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined but the wicked shall act wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand but those who are wise shall understand daniel 12 10 esv blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see god matthew 5 8 esv walk in grace and truth and it won t matter who s looking over your shoulder 1 comment tags aliens aluminum caps book of proverbs

them because they refuse to do judgment karma maybe you ve heard people say what goes around comes around the meaning is like a big circle life has a way of coming back around some people call it karma i don t believe in karma however as a matter of fact karma is a theological idea that is linked to the unbiblical teaching of reincarnation karma doesn t deal with the hear and now only the yet to be known it pushes the consequences of this life into the unknown of tomorrow leaving one never knowing for sure what tomorrow holds some may read this proverb and conclude that it is similar to the idea of karma but it is not the consequences in this verse deal with the ones committing the wickedness the judgement of which will be known in due time in other words this proverb deals with consequences that will be felt by the wicked doing the crime not their poor unwitting future incarnations consequences one of the hardest things to do is convince children that their bad actions may result in painful consequences in this life recently a father i know not me was telling his daughter that she was being rude to others and that her selfish hateful comments would get her in to trouble no sooner than he warned the young girl a cry of pain rang out the little girl had gotten slapped by her older sister which then resulted in the little girl getting a spanking too when we refuse to do judgement and go about with our robbery like nothing in this life will ever happen we live as fools the wicked conceive evil they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies they dig a deep pit to trap others then fall into it themselves the trouble they make for others backfires on them the violence they plan falls on their own heads psalm 7 14 16 nlt it is unwise to think that we can live however we please and push the consequences down the road the end of the road may be just around the corner and there a toll must be paid related articles it s not karma shawnethomas com the power of

vanishing profits by daniel m klem proverbs 21 6 6 the getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death 6 a fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare niv i have worked with many dishonest people when i sold cell phones for a time i worked with someone who was not afraid to stretch the truth to sell a phone of course you can set your own music as ringtones he would say for a device that does not play music this phone will give you a signal everywhere you go he would say for an older device using old technology you can return this anytime you want during your contract just not true after 30 days i did not know you were their salesman he would say to the rest of us after putting a sale in his name initially he had great sales numbers it looked like he was going to earn a great commission unfortunately most of his sales came back after customers realized they did not get what they wanted this meant his supposedly high commission was in fact quite low sometimes it was because the higher ups in the company figured out he was stealing sales and they would send the commission to those of us who earned them taken away in luke chapter 19 jesus shares the parable of the minas in which a nobleman travels and leaves his money in the care of some servants some grow his money while he is gone but one simply hides it those who grew the money were given much responsibility while the lazy one had everything taken away and given to the better servant in matthew chapter seven he shares that there will be many who speak and act in his name but jesus will tell them i never knew you they are the ones who did everything for personal gain the reason these are all related is that in matthew chapter 6 jesus tells us to store up treasures in heaven we cannot store up treasures in heaven if we lie through word and deed if we do all we think we have stored in heaven god will say all the good you think you did is worthless because it was a counterfeit in this life or the next we can lose everything through our dishonesty and selfishness gracious god forgive us of our deceitfulness and selfishness give us your truth and help us to be honest and grace filled 1 comment tags book of proverbs conversation death treasure treasure in heaven truth warnings posted in conversation speech truth warnings december 15 2020 get rich quick by chris jordan proverbs 21 5 the thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness but of every one that is hasty only to want kjv good planning and hard work lead to prosperity but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty nlt what s wrong with that it s amazing to me how many people chase after the latest get rich quick schemes make money fast from home and become a millionaire this year small investment big return and don t even get me started on lottery tickets they are aptly named an idiot tax in the small town that i live in we have a corner convenience store just down the street from my house and it s amazing to me that almost every time i walk in there someone is buying a lottery ticket or scratch and win ticket hoping to be the next big winner what s going on here it seems we have created an entire culture that is devoted to trying to get something for nothing to get rich without having to do any work for it but some might be asking is there really anything wrong with that well that depends on whether or not you believe the bible poverty or prosperity in today s scripture solomon tells us that we can choose plenteousness or want prosperity or poverty to reach each destination there are two very different roads that lead there if you want to be prosperous the road is called good planning and hard work no shortcuts here you need to be diligent get a job and work hard and as matthew henry says the thoughts of the diligent are as necessary as the hand of the diligent forecast is as good as work it s good to plan ahead if you want to prosper and do well financially plan a budget honour the lord with your tithe be generous and give to the poor all of these will help you succeed if you want to be poor it s a whole lot easier to get there don t be diligent don t get a job don t work hard don t plan ahead spend foolishly waste your money on things lottery tickets and other things you don t really need you ll be poor before you know it lord help us as your people to make good plans and work hard so you can bless us financially not just so we can be blessed blessed blessed but we know you bless us so that we can be a blessing to others to help the poor to build the kingdom of god to make a difference in the lives of others help us to make wise choices with our finances and be good stewards of all of our resources in jesus name amen 1 comment tags bible book of proverbs faith god jesus money proverbs religion and spirituality wisdom posted in money and finances december 14 2020 a question of attitude by david proverbs 21 4 an high look and a proud heart and the plowing of the wicked is sin haughty eyes and a proud heart the unplowed field of the wicked produce sin niv is an unplowed field equivalent to an untidy bedroom if it is my kids are in trouble after parenting five with two still at home i cannot recall any of them keeping tidy bedrooms ever although it seems to be a different story when they have their own homes while a tidy bedroom is not high on the list of priorities for your average teenager you would expect that the owner of a field would keep it plowed to ensure the best environment for his crops but this proverb is not really about plowed fields and it certainly isn t about untidy bedrooms so what is the link the link is attitude this is something that each of us needs to consider regularly how is our attitude how and why do we do certain things and why are there things we try to avoid doing at all costs how are we doing with the pride issue are we too proud or does humility come easy the more i read this proverb the more i realize that it is about hearts not actions it is sinful to do something with the wrong attitude or to fail to do something we consider beneath us need an example here s one i am the sunday ministry deacon at church i organise rosters for duty deacons and stewards and anything the pastor wants arranged on any particular sunday the first task is always to make sure the forecourt is tidy which as our city center church is surrounded by nightclubs and pubs is not always the case but one sunday morning the problem wasn t leftover fast food and empty beer cans it was confetti there had been a wedding the day before and it had rained the wet confetti stuck to the paving slabs as if it was glued the guy who leads our men s ministry gave me a hand to clean the confetti and other items from the forecourt all but one person going into church walked past us most of them with a witty comment only one person saw what we were doing and without saying anything went to the cleaning cupboard to fetch a broom so that she could help us i don t want to point the finger at the funny guys who walked past but perhaps this proverb was written for them leave a comment tags attitude plough plow pride posted in advice pride humility december 13 2020 more pleased by chris jordan proverbs 21 3 to do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the lord than sacrifice kjv justice and judgment what does the lord want us to do to do justice and judgment or as it says in the new living translation the lord is more pleased when we do what is just and right than when we give him sacrifices that tells us that contrary to popular belief in the world today there are certain things that are right and certain things that are wrong and god wants us to do those things that are right he wants us to be loving forgiving and gracious people but what does solomon mean when he says that doing justice and judgment is more acceptable to the lord than sacrifice what kind of sacrifice is he talking about here the sacrifices under the old covenant when the people would sin they would have to make a sacrifice to atone for their sin under the new covenant when we sin we confess our sins to god and tell him we re sorry for what we ve done and when we do he forgives us however some people have taken the grace of god and used it as a license to sin they think that because god is good and forgiving they can go out and sin all they want as long as they make a sacrifice confess their sins to him some people try to make up for their sin by trying to balance it out with good deeds because they feel guilty they go out and do something good like go to church worship fast or pray but god is more pleased when we do what is just and right in the first place rather than going out and doing bad things then having to offer sacrifices to try to make up for our wrongdoings yes it s true that god is gracious and will forgive us when we sin but we cannot let that be an excuse to be a sunday christian doing our religious duty at church then forgetting about doing what is just and right the rest of the week a story from spurgeon i think this story by charles spurgeon best illustrates our motivation for doing what is just and right even though god forgives us when we sin there is the story of half a dozen boys who had severe fathers accustomed to beat them within an inch of their lives another boy was with them who was well beloved by his parents and known to do so these young boys met together to hold a council of war about robbing an orchard they were all anxious to get about it except the favoured youth who did not enjoy the proposal one of them cried o...
