Don’t Expect a Proverb to Be a Promise Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 Some parents have almost put themselves in an early grave because they have a wayward child. Someone has taken this proverb and beaten them over the head with it. ... Friend, this verse is a proverb. If you read the book of Proverbs and try to turn proverbs into promises, you’ll lose your faith. A proverb is a proverb. A promise is a promise. A precept is a precept. A parable is a parable. A prophecy is a prophecy. You have to be careful. Some proverbs tell you the way to be wealthy. Does that mean everyone who follows one of these proverbs is automatically going to be wealthy? A proverb is a general principle that when generally applied will bring a general result. Instead of grabbing Proverbs as promises, ask God for discernment. He desires us to rightly divide the word of truth, not use it as a club to beat up fellow believers. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).

This Lovely Lady is 90 years young today! Happy Birthday Ms. Gladys!!!! Your Church Family Loves You!

What Are You Doing for Mom on Mother’s Day? Honor your father and mother that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. Exodus 20:12 When we observe Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, we are obeying this Scripture. You can honor your father and mother in three ways: Obey them when you’re young, care for them when they are old, and honor them at all times. How do you give them honor? ... Show them respect. Express gratefulness. Give them thanks. Learn to develop an attitude of gratitude. Have you thanked your parents for all that they’ve done? Listen to their counsel. Show your parents love. Think of what you owe your parents. They gave you life. I’m convinced that the closest thing to God’s love is the love of a mother. Now would be a good time to write a letter to your mother or father and tell them how grateful you are for them. I’ll tell you one thing, they will read it over and over again. And when they die and you’re going through their things, you’ll find that letter tucked away in their most treasured possessions. Do it, rather than saying I wish that I had. And if your parents are not living, give them honor and thank God for their memory.
