WISE WORDS FROM THE WORD.

THERE'S SO MUCH I WOULD LOVE TO TYPE. SOMETIMES I AM APPALLED AT HOW GOD'S CHILDREN BEHAVE. AND IN THE SAME BREATH, I AM SO SAD FOR THEM....MANY TIMES IT IS I WHO FALL INTO THIS GROUP. SO MANY OF HIS CHILDREN CHOOSE TO LIVE FOR THIS WORLD AND THE THINGS OF IT. SO MANY OF US CHOOSE TO GO ON LIVING IN DECEPTION, RATHER THAN FACING THE THINGS OF LIFE THAT NEED TO BE DEALT WITH. SO MANY OF US CHOOSE TO FOLLOW LIES RATHER THAN THE TRUTH....WHICH IS OFTEN HARDER, BUT ALWAYS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. GOD HAVE MERCY ON US ALL FOR NOT LAYING DOWN OUR LIVES FOR HIM AND ONE ANOTHER AS WE ARE CALLED TO DO.



"BUT PROVE YOURSELVES DOERS OF THE WORD, AND NOT MERELY HEARERS WHO DELUDE THEMSELVES."



"THEREFORE TO ONE WHO KNOWS THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND DOES NOT DO IT, TO HIM IT IS SIN." *JAMES*



"WE KNOW LOVE BY THIS, THAT HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US; AND WE OUGHT TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR THE BRETHREN."



"LITTLE CHILDREN, LET US NOT LOVE WITH WORD OR WITH TONGUE, BUT IN DEED AND TRUTH." *I JOHN*



"DO NOT WITHHOLD GOOD FROM THOSE TO WHOM IT IS DUE, WHEN IT IS IN YOUR POWER TO DO IT. DO NOT SAY TO YOUR NEIGHBOR, 'GO, AND COME BACK, AND TOMORROW I WILL GIVE IT,' WHEN YOU HAVE IT WITH YOU."



"HE WHO OPPRESSES THE POOR TAUNTS HIS MAKER, BUT HE WHO IS GRACIOUS TO THE NEEDY HONORS HIM."



"A FOOL DOES NOT DELIGHT IN UNDERSTANDING, BUT ONLY IN REVEALING HIS OWN MIND."



"DO NOT WEARY YOURSELF TO GAIN WEALTH, CEASE FROM YOUR CONSIDERATION OF IT."



"OIL AND PERFUME MAKE THE HEART GLAD, SO A MAN'S COUNSEL IS SWEET TO HIS FRIEND."



"HE WHO GUARDS HIS MOUTH AND HIS TONGUE, GUARDS HIS SOUL FROM TROUBLES."



"LISTEN TO COUNSEL AND ACCEPT DISCIPLINE, THAT YOU MAY BE WISE THE REST OF YOUR DAYS."



"HE IS ON THE PATH OF LIFE WHO HEEDS INSTRUCTION, BUT HE WHO IGNORES REPROOF GOES ASTRAY."



"HE WHO WALKS IN INTEGRITY WALKS SECURELY, BUT HE WHO PERVERTS HIS WAYS WILL BE FOUND OUT." *PROVERBS*
