    Guard Your Heart Series

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Jun 7, 2021
     | 5,154 views

    Solomon, being taught of David and being gifted with the gift of wisdom which God had given him, realized that wisdom and knowledge of the things of God should bring a person even closer to God; and therefore, keep him from failure and ruin.

    Guard your Heart Proverbs 4: 1-27 Biblical authors claim that the kings of Israel and Judah were divinely chosen and that they were expected to abide by the Mosaic covenant (see, for example, Deut 17:14-17, 1Sam 8-12, 1Kgs 2:3-4). Thus, Israelites saw their king as an agent of God, ruling on ...read more

    God’s Word is wonderful to appreciate, vital to absorb, and powerful to apply—it shapes our steps, anchors our souls, and reveals God’s heart.

    Part 1 — Appreciate Your Bible Most of us first met the Bible through a song long before we could spell “theology.” > “The B-I-B-L-E, yes that’s the book for me; I stand alone on the Word of God—the B-I-B-L-E.

     | 8,859 views

    In difficult times followers of Christ are assured of Strength and Resources as needed. Believers can live in peace and contentment when they know the two assurances in Philippians 4:13 and 19. Those verses provide foundation for biblical OPTIMISIM.

    Our text today provides a sure foundation for optimism. Christians should be the most optimistic people on the face of the earth. I’m not talking about a Polly Anna avoidance of the challenges. I’m talking about a deep confidence that nothing can happen that is beyond God’s all-sufficiency. I’m ...read more
