Proverbs 14 June 14, 2012
Memory Verse: Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death”.
Today we see ways that lead us to hell, and also instructions to think carefully about what we believe. It is so easy to be led astray by our environment, heredity, and evil but Jesus helps us discern what we experience and the lessons we need from them.”
A Way that leads to Hell
1) Wisdom builds a house, but foolishness destroys it.
2) Honesty respects God; twisted ways slap Him in the face
3) Frivolous talk causes ridicule; wise speech brings respect
4) Without investment; there is no gain
5) Honesty NEVER lies, liars always lie if the truth will hurt them
6) Cynics never find the answers; answers come freely to the open-minded
7) Don’t associate with fools; it is a waste of time and effort
8) Wisdom keeps the life on track; foolishness puts a life into the ditch
9) Stupidity ridicules right and wrong, but morality IS life
10) One who does not share times of bitter moments are excluded from times of celebration
11) Lives of sinners are shacks; holy lives build cathedrals
12) Sinners think their way of life is harmless; Look again—it leads to HELL!
13) Sin appears to be fun, but it ends in heartbreak
Sift and Weigh every word
1) Meanness begets meanness; grace begets grace
2) Gullible believe all; Prudent sift and weigh each word
3) Wise watch steps and avoid evil; fools rush in recklessly
4) The rash do things and regret them; cruelty gets the cold shoulder
5) Dreamers live in illusions; realists plant feet on solid ground
6) Eventually, evil will repay good and the wicked will respect God’s people
7) Loser is shun by all, but winners are loved by all
8) Criminal to ignore neighbor in need; compassion for the poor is a blessing
9) Conspirators lose out, but thoughtful win love and trust
10) Hard work pays off; talk buys little of use
11) Wise get more wisdom, fools get dumber
12) Souls are saved by truth; betrayed by deceit
13) Respecting God brings hope; and makes the world safer for all children
14) Respect of God is living water; prevents drinking from poisoned wells
15) Know a good leader by his followers; leadership is empty without disciples
16) Slow to anger creates deep understanding; quick tempers fuel stupidity
17) A quiet mind creates a healthy body; envy is a cancer of the bones
18) Insult God by exploiting powerless; being kind to poor honors God
19) Evil leaves bad people in the cold; integrity builds a safe, warm home
20) Wisdom abides with an understanding heart; fools are ignored
21) Respect of God makes a country strong; avoiding God leaves it weak
22) Diligent work deserves commendations; laziness earns rebuke
