Spiritual Growth Church – Sunday, February 9th, 2025 – 10:22-32 – Proverbs of Solomon, written and set in Order by himself

Sermons

 

10:22 – There are those who live in pleasure and think they are living it up. But as they get closer to the end, they find life unbearable.

   “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he added no sorrow with it.” The contemporary Christian by his indifference to moral and doctrinal wrong, and by his laxness in his way of living, is missing a great deal that God has for him.

10:23 – This is good advice to the young man!

10:26 – Did you ever send a lazy boy on an errand, and then you stand first on one foot and then on the other waiting for him? That’s just like “vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes.”

10:27 – This certainly was true in Old Testament days. God promised long days to those who obeyed Him. Perhaps you are thinking, Doesn’t He promise that today? No, He promises us eternal life. That will be a better quality of life as well as quantity.

10:30 – Let’s look at history with that in view. all of the great world leaders, the kings and the captains, have disappeared. The pharaohs, the caesars, Alexander the Great, Napoleon— they are all gone. “The wicked shall not inhabit the earth.” Neither will communism prevail and, interestingly enough, neither will democracy, because God has a form of Government that is to be a monarchy. There will be no dictatorship equal to the dictatorship of Jesus Christ when He takes over the rulership of this earth. And “the righteous shall never be removed.”
