We are now planning our Christmas party; 1^st Saturday in December in the afternoon from 3 – 6:30PM.  Mark that date please, let’s make it the best ever birthday party for Jesus.  Amen?

 

We had another great day at the MPB.  PTL!  A very, very full house, very exciting and exhilarating being with Jesus and all our brothers … the Word continues to get out about Jesus’ presence and His special guests: Popa, and the Holy Spirit who always arrive early to help out & clean up.  Good discussion, considerable contribution by all.  We got Wisdom, Wisdom, Wisdom, Wisdom, and more Wisdom.  Thank you, Ol Sol!  We need that.  Blessed are you who come in the name of the Lord.  Jon Vining filled in for me, and Jon, you did a wonderful job for all of us.  Thank you.  Amen.

 

? “Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks.  For that thy name is near thy wondrous works.” September 13, 2025, Proverbs, Chapter 10:15-32  A DISCIPLINED LIFE LEADS TO LIFE WHILE REJECTION OF CORRECTION LEADS TO RUIN:  Contrast of Wealth and Poverty “¹⁵ You know that the wise have a treasure of knowledge and wisdom on their lips, but the foolish are ruined by their own silly chatter,” (the wise have treasured knowledge to share; fools blabber everything that amounts to nothing).  “¹⁶ wages of the righteous is life, but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death.” (the righteous have earned the good life; a fool’s production makes for pride that is sin, and that leads to destruction too).

 

Discipline and speech: “¹⁷ whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray” (those teachable earn knowledge that is to profit in wisdom that is their gain-i.e., success and virtue; a fool rejects correction, the result of which is madness and ruin because of silly sinful pride that, helps not, others).  “¹⁸ Liars secretly hoard hatred; fools openly spread slander.” (this saying says these two forms of sin are to be condemned-i.e., the one lies to cover-up his animosity toward another by assassinating his character with deceitful words and intensions; the fool, on the other hand, expresses hatred for another by openly gossiping and faulting him for it; both are hypocritical foolishness that should never to be given consideration). “¹⁹ The more talk, the less truth; the wise measure their words.” (Solomon alerts us to be aware when hearing too many words, especially words that are harmful, untrue, or foolish that represent views that we should not squander our time on; the wise, on the other hand, measure their words out carefully, most efficiently they are restrained to accomplish good).  “²⁰ The speech of a good person is worth waiting for; the blabber of the wicked is worthless.” (who are we to listen too … wise godly speech or that which is empty and worth nothing?  Don’t waste your time on silliness; spend it on something having worth … that should be obvious, but if you feel otherwise, then you best wizen-up). “²¹ The talk of a good person is rich fare for many, but chatterboxes die of an empty heart. Fear-of-God Expands Your Life” (we gain from valuable words; the swuawking of fools is worthless …  the Fear-of-God is the great enabler of discernment Who broadens horizons). “²² God's blessing makes life rich; nothing we do can improve on God.” (the Fear-of-God is at it again!  It is so!  We are so very rich, why, because as God’s children, all that He provides us, gifts us, is worth far beyond what we could do on our own.  We cannot possibly improve on God, but God can and does, improve us if we will only let him – come, win God’s lottery that is not always money, mind you, no, its peace and a spiritual awakening to His presence in our lives; come, you need to come to Him to disappoint Him not!).

 

Wisdom vs. Foolishness: “²³ An empty-head thinks mischief is fun, but a mindful person relishes wisdom.” (empty headedness = the fool and that fool wastes his life away on nonsense, whereas the mindful doesn’t; he spends his life’s time on worthwhile pursuits that is to profit him materially and spiritually-i.e., doing it good and right … that is where the real fun is! PTL). “²⁴ The nightmares of the wicked come true; what the good people desire, they get.”  (fate, ah, the fate of the wicked vs. the desires of the righteous, that is the question - God answers the wicked’s dreams of fear, that is fear, real fear, that sin inevitably brings with it, death, but good people, fear not the good death, for righteousness’ desire rewards plenty rather than the fateful death of sin). “²⁵ When the storm is over, there's nothing left of the wicked; good people, firm on their rock foundation, aren't even fazed.”, aka, “²⁵ When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more, but the foundation of the righteous is everlasting” (King James Version (KJV), New King James Version (NKJV), New American Standard Bible (NASB), New Living Translation (NLT).  (wicked come and go, short-lived often are they, but good people, the God-Fearing, endure the trials and tribulations of this life with confidence because God has prepared us for them, therein is a portion of the foundation Solomon speaks to; warnings and perpetration provide for a more stress-free life that extends us onto a ripe old age and eternity – we can’t outdo Gad, can we?!).  “²⁶ A lazy employee will give you nothing but trouble; it's vinegar in the mouth, smoke in the eyes.” (to be lazy is a horror … it is so; the lazy are abhorrent to be round, so much so that it hurts inside … Ol Sol likens them to smoke in the eyes, vinegar on the teeth … how’s-bout pealing an onion, to tear for – that ain’t fun either!).  “²⁷ The Fear-of-God expands your life; a bad life is a short life.”  (Fear-of-God, ah, we have discussed fearing God, at considerable length and many times through out the Bible; it is to see God as a wonderful father who loves us completely, without reservation as agape [agape love is a selfless, unconditional, and sacrificial act of the will that seeks the welfare of others, even enemies, demonstrated by God's own love for humanity and commanded in John 13:34-35: "Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another".  This love is not an emotion but a determined choice to put another's needs above one's own that is characterized by patience, kindness, humility, and perseverance, as described in 1 Corinthians 13, “the love chapter”, qualities to help and guide us, God gifts us with what we ask for, but, only that which is good for us - God is the one we revere in awe and honor, whom we never wish to disappoint – knowing this brings peace, rest and a long life, conversely, a life without God, in it, is a shortened one because such is a life without ultimate meaning or purpose that comes only from our Creator.   Without Him in our life, then it is one that is a futile existence devoid of objective morality or eternal destiny). “²⁸ The aspirations of good people end in celebration; the ambitions of bad people crash.” (Again, we see the difference between good and evil.  There is hope in righteousness that is to bring gladness and joy; the hopes of the wicked come to nothing, and in their wickedness, there is only punishment-i.e. to crash is utter destruction). 

 

Destiny of Righteous vs. Wicked: “²⁹ God is solid backing to a well-lived life, but he calls into question a shabby performance.” (it is how you live your life, in it with God or not; live it full strength, securely is the upright – the workers of inequity come to destruction; God’s way is principles sealed with commandments to provide safety and security vs. judgment and ruin for the bad boys).  “³⁰ Good people last - they can't be moved; the wicked are here today, gone tomorrow.”  (as God’s chosen, we aren’t moved or shaken loose from God at our right hand (Psalm 16:18); we endure and are ever-so stable and secure living this life knowing we will live on into eternity vs. those who could care even less for God are doomed forever to eternal damnation).  “³¹ A good person's mouth is a clear fountain of wisdom; a foul mouth is a stagnant swamp.” (you ain’t pretty spewing foul judgments everywhere; few to none listen for it is in the our seeing, that we hurt so, watching you condemn yourself that way, vs. the upright who continuously gift us with joy and God’s wisdom that is so uplifting; be positive, don’t dive crash).  “³² The speech of a good person clears the air; the words of the wicked pollute it.” (again, Jesus says to love one another, in that, don’t defile His love with ugly words for it is the good air we breathe; those of the wicked choke on their stench). In summary then, our Lord blesses us every day if only we would receive Him as first in it-i.e., possess the Fear of God, wholly.  He, God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit as one, give us so, so much when we chose wisely and do diligence to abide in His will.  Trust Him and be ever so conscious of his presence at your right hand (Psalm 16:18) and when he speaks to you, John 10:27 "My sheep hear my voice...", know that, and just as Matthew said in chapter 6, “³³  …  seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own.”, and " …  my yoke is easy, and my burden is light", (Matthew 11:30).  Trust me, it doesn’t get any better than that.   I am a knower because each pearl of the wisdom above has rung true for me.   I see Him every day working in my life, and He will do the same for you … lighten up; He’ll give you a hand with YOUR life too; I promise, but more importantly, He guarantees it!  Amen.
