“Wisdom has built her house,She has carved out her seven pillars;She has prepared her food, she has mixed her wine;She has also set her table;She has sent out her attendants, she calls outFrom the tops of the heights of the city:” “‘Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!’To him who lacks understanding she says,“Come, eat of my foodAnd drink of the wine I have mixed.Abandon your foolishness and live,And…

“Does wisdom not call,And understanding raise her voice?On top of the heights beside the way,Where the paths meet, she takes her stand;Beside the gates, at the opening to the city,At the entrance of the doors, she cries out:” “To you, people, I call,And my voice is to mankind.You naive ones, understand prudence;And you fools, understand wisdom.Listen, for I will speak noble things;And the opening of my lips will reveal right…

“My son, keep my wordsAnd treasure my commandments within you.Keep my commandments and live,And my teaching as the apple of your eye.Bind them on your fingers;Write them on the tablet of your heart.Say to wisdom, ‘You are my sister,’And call understanding your intimate friend;That they may keep you from an adulteress,From the foreign woman who flatters with her words.” “For at the window of my houseI looked out through my…

“My son, pay attention to my wisdom,Incline your ear to my understanding,So that you may maintain discretionAnd your lips may comply with knowledge.” “For the lips of an adulteress drip honey,And her speech is smoother than oil;But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,Sharp as a two-edged sword.Her feet go down to death,Her steps take hold of Sheol;She does not ponder the path of life;Her ways are unstable, but…

God’s grace is already at work in unbelievers—breathing life, stirring conscience, delaying judgment, and pointing to Jesus, the greater grace who saves. It was my turn to lead the guys in our community group.Monday evening. Around 6:30 PM. Waiting at a fire pit on the Watermark campus — chairs arranged in a circle, wood ready to burn, the kind of scene that invites real conversation. I was seated when Dallas…

“Hear, my sons, the instruction of a father,And pay attention so that you may gain understanding,For I give you good teaching;Do not abandon my instruction.” “When I was a son to my father,Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother,Then he taught me and said to me,‘Let your heart take hold of my words;Keep my commandments and live;Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding!Do not forget nor turn away from…
