THE NEW YEAR

Businesses have planned for the new year. Churches have made their schedules. Individuals have made resolutions. What do you say about this? “If any one be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away, all things are new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

THE CHRISTMAS STORY

The Christmas story has all the elements of the great human drama: hatred/love, poor/rich, anger/joy, sorrow/rejoicing, wondrous/miraculous. If we leave out the central figure, the story is empty, fanciful, and meaningless. And so is life when we exclude the same central figure; Jesus. “...And you shall call His name Jesus, because He will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21

A TRAP

Ever have an uneasy feeling when a friend tells you how good you are? “To flatter friends is to lay a trap for their feet.” Proverbs 29:5

POWER OF JUSTICE OR POWER OF MONEY

“A just king gives stability to his nation, but one who demands bribes destroys it.” Proverbs 29:4 NLT

STIFF NECK

There are many reasons we get stiff necks, but the soul reason is the worse. “He who is often reproved hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.” Proverbs 29:1

GENEROUS OR STINGY

Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed.” Proverbs 28:27 NLT

I'M RIGHT !

“Those who trust their own insight are foolish, but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe.” Proverbs 28:26 NLT “So let's be honest with ourselves and not take ourselves too serious, and never condemn the other fellow for doing what we are doing every day, only in a different way.” Will Rogers
