June 15, 2019 by bible805

If someone insults you how do you answer?

Does the way people treat us determine how we should treat them?

In our podcast today we’ll look at Proverbs and get some advice on how we can respond no matter how difficult people might be in ways that please God and ultimately help us live a more peaceful and productive life.

We laid the philosophical groundwork for this podcast in the last one. Please listen to it first if you haven’t already.

In this podcast we get practical on how we can apply Proverbs to our daily lives.

Proverbs, part 1: Why it is needed in a post-Christian, post-Biblical world (our world today)

June 15, 2019 by bible805

Why do you act the way you do? Talk the way you do?

Are these conscious decisions or simply a reflection of whatever everyone else in your world says and does?

We don’t often give everyday actions or words much thought, but in our podcast today we’re going to look at the book of Proverbs and WHY we need it in a post-Christian, post-Biblical world.

This is an important podcast for you to listen to because though we don’t often think about the default settings in behavior and beliefs in our world today, they are important because they guide our behavior unless we make conscious decisions to act differently.

Because our society today is post-Christian and post-Biblical we must work much harder to live a Biblical life.

This podcast will walk you through the meaning of these ideas, how we got where we are, and the remedy of a Biblical view of life as found in Proverbs if we want to live a life pleasing to God and peaceful and productive to us.

What if you had EVERYTHING? Money, power, romance?

What would you do with it?

In this podcast, we’ll talk about Solomon, a man who had everything, who enjoyed and used it all but ended up a bitter, sad, old man, who destroyed the unity of his nation because he would not obey God.

We’ll look at his life, but more than that, we’ll end with a challenge that You can make a more eternally significant impact with your life than he did with all the wisdom, wealth, power and riches he had.

Below the podcast is a PDF of the notes and below that, the printed version of them.
