Wise Living Starts With a Right Relationship With God

We love our children and want them to be people of character who do what is right and just. So we impart them with wisdom and practical skills for living this life. In fact, we want this for ourselves as well! In this week’s sermon, we will look at where we can find such wisdom.

Scripture: Proverbs 1:1-7
The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
for attaining wisdom and discipline;
for understanding words of insight;
for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life,
doing what is right and just and fair;
for giving prudence to the simple,
knowledge and discretion to the young –
let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance –
for understanding proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Renewing Reflections
It is our prayer Renewing Reflections will be a blessing in your life this coming week. This quote is taken from the sermon “A Spiritual Checkup: How's the Diet? “ delivered on Christian Crusaders October 19, 2008.

(Jesus) told his disciples, “Seek first the kingdom of God and all these other things that you worry so much about shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33). . . Some scholars believe that Jesus was referring to everything he ever said to his disciples, his whole message, about totally trusting him with their lives. Jesus said spiritual help comes to a person who not only reads and hears his commandments, but actually lives by them. . . Jesus said, “I’ve said all these things so that you can have joy!” He wants us to have joy – the sense of well-being in any and all circumstances.
