    Christ In The Heart: It's Just That Simple Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 6, 2024
     | 868 views

    You can sit in church your whole life and never let Christ into your heart. You can try very hard to adjust your outward behaviors but never let His love into yourself.

    In all this deep discussion of prayer and God’s presence and turning ourselves toward Him, we must always return to the basic, simple understanding of who Jesus Christ is to us. You can sit in church your whole life and never let Christ into your heart. You can try very hard to adjust your outward ...read more

    Our senses, as St. Thomas taught, deceive us. Only faith enables us to recognize the reality.

    Twentieth Sunday in Course 2024 There are, we know intuitively, that there are two ways for a human being to go. The Scriptures refer to them as Wisdom and Foolishness. The writer of the book of Proverbs introduces our theme by picturing Wisdom as a person who builds a kind of Temple with seven ...read more

    Where will we go to get the wisdom we need for life? Where will these decisions lead me?

    Solomon was writing to his son because like every parent, it was his responsibility to prepare his child or children to face life.

    Sweet Temptation Series

    Ah ... free will. The ability to choose/decide for ourselves what is right and good and what isn't. However, as Solomon points out, we also got 'temptation' along with it and he beautifully illustrates the tension of temptation in Proverbs 9 between Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly.

    Ah … it’s a familiar story. Eve is strolling through the beautiful Garden of Eden when she is surprised by a talking snake. “Hey, how ya doing?” “Fine.” “What ya doin?” “Oh, Adam and I are just walking around … taking in the beauty of God’s creation.” “Oh, yeah? Lovely. Say, what about ...read more

    Some of you walked in today with a full calendar and an empty heart. Some came carrying quiet questions that whisper in the night. Others arrived with hope flickering like a candle in a drafty room. Friend, you’re in the right place. Today, Scripture opens the door to a warm kitchen where Wisdom ...read more

    Make me an offer I can't refuse!

    THE CALL OF WISDOM. Proverbs 9:1-6. Even before she invited us, Lady Wisdom “built her house” (Proverbs 9:1). The hewing out of Lady Wisdom’s “seven pillars” speaks of completeness (unlike the ‘folly’ in Edinburgh which was never completed), spaciousness, and endurance. ‘I go to prepare a ...read more

    Don't Follow Folly

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021
     | 2,521 views

    Will we live on the streets of “sin city,” laying our head down in the gutter of wickedness? Or will we listen to the invitation of wisdom, to follow in God’s ways and live in the glory of his eternal mansions?

    How wonderful all things were in the beginning! When we read Genesis 1, we hear this theme repeated: “And God saw that it was good.” Time and again, culminating with this declaration on the sixth day: “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good” (v 31). It was very good. Man and woman ...read more

    In Proverbs 9, we read of the invitations extended by wisdom and folly.

    In concluding Proverbs, I want us to consider the theme of this book, which is the difference between wisdom and folly. In this chapter, we read of the invitation given by each and the result that follows when one accepts either of these invitations. (READ TEXT) We read about two houses, located ...read more

    Wisdom’s call is an invitation to fear the Lord, avoid deception and ultimately a call to life.

    This chapter of Proverbs contains the invitations of two women. One is called Wisdom and the other Folly. Wisdom abides in a rock solid house with seven pillars.

    The “fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight” or understanding. This “fear” is a reverential regard for God who has communicated His will and purpose to us and to whom we are accountable for our actions.

    Pearls before Swine Proverbs 9:1-18 The Prologue of Solomon's book of Proverbs ends with a choice of two paths. - an invitation from Lady Wisdom and an invitation from Lady Folly. These descriptions and quotations of Wisdom and Folly are a study in similarities and contrasts. Both Wisdom and ...read more

    In the first 9 chapters of Proverbs, Foolishness and Widsom call out an invitation to a party. One invitation is to get drunk on the wickedness of this world, the other is an invitation to life... eternal life.
