Proverbially Speaking

Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles

In the 2009, volume 47, number 3 edition of The Sword and Staff publication, comes the following proverbs of wisdom (appropriate Scriptures and related articles have been added):

  • There is nothing right with being wrong, nor is there a defense for it.
  • We should not ask for the Lord’s leading if we are not willing to follow.
  • You must take the high road if your destination is heaven.
  • Love that will not confront wrong and correct, is morally useless.
  • You are not right until you are right with God.
  • Someone has said that there are three kinds of believers: (1) Believers; (2) Unbelievers; (3) Make-believers.
  • The closer Christ got to the cross, the fewer were his followers (John 16:32; John 20:9-10).
  • Doors are for keeping in and keeping out; and for letting in and letting out (Genesis 7:16; Matthew 25:10; Revelation 3:20).
  • Much of the travel on the road of life turns out to be detours, so get used to the unexpected.
