TODAYS WISDOM?

"The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity."
"Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death."
Proverbs 11:3-4

"The righteous man is rescued from trouble, and it comes on the wicked instead.
With his mouth the Godless destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous escape."
Proverbs 11:8-9

"He who puts up security for another will surely suffer, but whoever refuses to strike hands in pledge is safe."
Proverbs 11:15

"Be sure of this: the wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free.
Like a gold ring in a pigs snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion."
Proverbs 11:21-22

"One man gives freely, but gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty."
"A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed."
Proverbs 11:24-25

"He who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise."
Proverbs 11:29

I was hanging out with some friends today and , of course, the conversation turned to religion and politics. It surprised me to see how little some of us know about what is really going on in the world today. It seems we are being led in one direction or the other by the media we choose to believe.
For example, I have a freind who knew nothing about the Keystone Pipeline Project unil 2 weeks after I learned about it from Fox news. Some news broadcasters do not report on stories that make the current administration look stupid or destructive to our form of government.
For the sake of "Political Correctness" they downplay, and down right lie about things to further their own agenda. Unfortunately, this is happening at the highest levels of our government as I write this post. What's on the current agenda of our leaders? We can see by looking at what is proposed and what is made law. Many of us don't even care about what goes on in the white house. We are coasting and trusting our elected officials to do the will of the people as it was in the old days. Well, guess what? Those days are gone and we are in subjection to people who want to destroy our way of life. And what is even more alarming is that we are permitting this to happen.
Our children and grandchildren will be living in a world that is totally different than what my generation,'baby boomers' have experienced. Control, is the name of the game of this government. And control, by this administration is going to put us in a 'socialist' form of Government. It sickens me to see how we are being led like sheep to the slaughter to our own demise by our elected officals.
The bible predicts it all! We can be sure of what God says is going to happen. Whether we see it or not in our lifetime we can't be sure. But what we can see, now, is exactly what has been predicted. From the trouble in the Mid-East to civil unrest in our own country. Families that were once strong, are now divided, sister against brother, children against parents, brother against brother. At a time when we need to stand firm with each other we are drawing further apart, believing lies, and being deceived by 'ear ticklers' and false teachers, 'new agers' who think they have all the answers to the worlds maladies.  The further we get from the truth that is God's Word, the closer we are to the destruction of life as we know it.
Put your faith in the God of heaven, the Creator of heaven and earth, the designer of all we can see, hear and touch. Believe what He says, 'because He is not a man that He should lie'. And He loves us so much that He gave His one and only Son so that 'whosoever believes in Him will be saved from the comming destruction' and have eternal life. Have a blessed and informed day.
