Proverbs 19:29- We need to realize and know that there is truth and
there are consequences for not living in Christ. You can’t change the
fact that there will be judgment in God.
Proverbs 15:8-14 If someone is doing wrong then they are not going
to be able to get God’s attention. Regardless if a person is going to
church does not mean anything if they are involved in sin. Sometimes
we have a very immature view of Christ and don’t think that God is
going to correct someone. Verse 9- Sometimes people get so close to
the world that they lose their sensitivity to sin. Verse 10- Correction is
too heavy for some and they begin to take something meant for good
and turn it into something they deem not helpful.
Proverbs 15:7 Are you the type of person that gives godly advice?
Proverbs 15:12-15 The people that really need to ask for advice don’t.
Verse 14- if you need God you will seek God. A lot of people who have
problems go away from God. Verse 15- when you are in God if like you
having a continual feast.
Malachi 1:6-14 When people get in trouble they often say “What did I
do, I didn’t do anything wrong?.” Verse 8- When you give God less
then your best then it is considered evil. You have to give God better
service. Would you do something half-hearted for your job or for the
governor? Verse 11- Everyday we are supposed to give God praise.
Verse 13- When you don’t want to live for the Lord then doing
something for God is so tiring for you.
Malachi 2:1-2 You better lay it heart what the Lord is saying in his
word.
Proverbs 20:1-5 Wine is a mocker. People get drunk all the time and
act crazy- why do you want to justify drinking? Verse 2- Why try
people when you know you will get in trouble with that person? Verse
4- Some people are lazy and will find an excuse at any little thing.
Some people want immediate rewards and don’t want to wait for the
outcome; therefore, they will not do what they are supposed to do.
Verse 5- Somebody that has understanding will get to the real issue.
Hebrews 5:10-14 When you get into the word and start reading then
you can discern what is really going on and what is really right
