Proverbially Speaking

In the 2011, volume 49, number 2 edition of The Sword and Staff publication, pg. 2, comes the following proverbs of wisdom (appropriate Scriptures and related articles have been added):

• Christian is as Christian does (James 1:22-25).

• We need to love the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12) and to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).

• The best proof of Christianity is Christianity.

• When the Word of God is preached, the Holy Spirit convicts us because He has first convinced us (John 16:7-11; Acts 2:36-41).

• Our love for Christ is measured by our obedience to Him (John 14:15).

• Nothing works like work (coupled with prayer) in getting the Lord’s work done (1 Thessalonians 1:2-3; 1 Corinthians 15:58).

• Charity begins at home but it should never end there (Gal. 6:10; cf. Proverbs 3:27-29).

• To continue in the love of Christ, we must love Him and keep His commandments (John 15:9-10).

• To live within your means, means to practice frugality.

• Sow deeds of love and reap a bountiful harvest of good works (Gal. 6:7-8).
