Because everyone dies, instead of living for temporal, earthly riches in this life as the wicked who perish, believers should live for eternal, heavenly riches.

All of the blessings that we have been given as Christians, are given to us according to the riches of Christ's grace. In Christ, every Christian is a spiritual rich man. What does this mean for you personally? Let me give you 3 observations on what it means for every believer in Christ to have the riches of His grace.

Scripture: Proverbs 9:1-18 Text: Proverbs 9:13-18 Sermon: Wisdom's Final Appeal: Wisdom+Folly Play for Keeps I. Folly Is Antithetical to Wisdom's Character II. Folly Entices the Simple with Forbidden Pleasure III. Folly Leads the Simple to the Depths of Sin WISDOM'S FINAL APPEAL: WISDOM AND FOOL PLAY FOR KEEPS 13 A foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple, and knows nothing. 14 For she sits at the door of her house, On a seat by the highest places of the city, 15 To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their way: 16 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here"; And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him, 17 "Stolen water is sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant." 18 But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of hell." Proverbs 9:13-18 This Lord's Day Pastor Randy will continue our study of the Book of Proverbs. If you listen, learn, and remember Wisdom's words and do them, you will be safe from many troubles. The unstated contrast is that if you don't trouble and trials will befall, and ultimately destruction. Proverbs 9 is the conclusion of Wisdoms argument why we should listen to Her and walk in Her ways! Verses 13-18 conclude Wisdom's Contrast to Folly. These last verses show that Folly is devoid of character. She "is simple and knows nothing." Who should you trust? Who should you follow? Who will lead you in the direction you should go?

As Jesus lived and died under this truth, so can His people: "My times are in Thy hand!"

When the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade was handed down just over two months ago, there was great rejoicing among God's people. In one fell swoop, the entire legal justification for murdering unborn babies was repudiated by the court. This is an example of how God uses kings and rulers to accomplish His purposes, both good and bad. The king's heart is in God's hand, and God turns that heart whatever way God pleases! For all his disorder, President Trump was under God's control, just like good presidents and bad ones, tyrants, and genocidal maniacs, as well as gentle rulers. Often Trump was reckless, and seemed to have no real principles except pragmatism. He was a very poor judge of people, surrounding himself with sleazy and discreditable people, people who often went on to stab him in the back. Trump did some evil things as president, and some good things also. Yet Mr. Trump appointed three justices to the Supreme Court who, at least in the case of abortion, were willing to follow our Constitution, and rule that it does not guarantee any right to murder babies. This is remarkable when we recall that it was Republican presidents who appointed pro-abortion justices O'Connor, Souter, Kennedy, and Roberts. In the old testament, there are many examples of how God used good kings and bad ones to accomplish His purposes. Consider Israel's first king, Saul. The people demanded a king to rule over them. God's prophet Samuel warned the people that kings would enslave the people, rob them of their property and money, and construct a great and expensive machine to serve themselves, and not the people. But Israel would not heed his warnings.

The Danger and Dilemma of A Bright Mind Void of God NOTHING or NO ONE can EVER take the place or substitute being personally interrupted by Jesus and permanently invaded with His redeeming and all consuming grace. "For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe." 1 Corinthians 1:21 The Wisdom Shattering Gospel What you know of God, and how you perceive the wisdom of God, will be clearly seen in: How you treat Jesus. How you receive the word of God. How you view the disciples of Jesus. A man that's NOT persuaded by the word of God will NOT be persuaded by anything else that God has done or will ever do. Only the Lord, and those walking in the realm of His wisdom and the power of His Spirit, will encourage and point you to SEEK and TRUST, HONOR and OBEY and wisely FOLLOW and PROCLAIM the ways of God and His redeeming grace, with all that you are. Because they KNOW... if God does not define life for us, we will perceive [it], and everything else IN life wrong. Paul said the rulers of His day would have never crucified Jesus if they knew Him. Why? Jesus adds an eternal value, to our thoughts and tongue. He, through His grace and by His Spirit, enriches our communication with eternal life because He enriches our comprehension with eternal truth. Knowledge is power... no doubt, but it's power that will either warp you or shape for His glory. Not all knowledge or information is valuable... the wrong information has the power to warp your thinking and pollute your life and eternal point view (Isaiah 47:10). #nestingwithjesus #3john #1corinthian

Exodus 19:3-20:17 Proverbs 8:12-21 Sermon Outline: Wisdom's Impeccable Idnetity Wisdom's Practical Usefulness Wisdom's Blessed Fruit

The doctrine of the high mystery of predestination is to be handled with special prudence and care, that men attending the will of God revealed in His Word, and yielding obedience thereunto, may, from the certainty of their effectual vocation, be assured of their eternal election; so shall this doctrine afford matter of praise, reverence, and admiration of God, and of humility, diligence, and abundant consolation to all that sincerely obey the gospel.

Buying, Nurturing, Loving, Exalting, Treasuring Wisdom God's Currency To do God's business, God's way, in God's kingdom, we must use His currency. When we do life God's way, God always works His way in and through our lives. Finishing well is the result and reward of trusting and walking well, as we live on the currency of God. This is of the utmost importance to know and understand: Our eyes do not filter what they see... our eyes are merely our point of sight, but not our point of vision. Vision comes through the filter within us. What is the filter? Not our physical heart but our minds eye. It's there, our point of vision, is what filters the what, why and how we see. And that has been shaped by light or darkness. This is why Jesus said, "if our light (our point of vision) be darkness how great is that darkness." The heart is where man filters life and love... it's where he interprets the facts he's been give. Facts and feeling don't filter life, light or darkness, truth or lies, God or man is what filters life from within the man (Proverbs 4:23). In essence the eyes just reveal how clear or dark a human sees. What I see, how I see it and why I see it the way I do... are way more important than what I once realized. Fight for the truth... the battle has always been a fight for truth, not our feelings, not for the facts, but a gritty war for truth. This is why we're instructed to: "Buy the truth, and do not sell it, also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding" (Proverbs 23:23). We are taught, warned and specifically directed by God's word to "pay the price to GAIN [it], live to GLORY in [it], sacrifice whatever it cost to GUARD [it] and do whatever
