Proverbs 31:10-31 speaks of the "virtuous wife" that men should strive to find, and women to strive to live up to. This chapter speaks both to the man and the woman. For men, not only should we look for such a woman, but we need to pursue our r
Proverbs 30:5-6 says "Every word of God proves true, he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.” With our never-ending access to the internet and different ideas, we are
Proverbs 29:11 says, 'A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back." So is it wrong for us to vent to others? Or is there a deeper lesson to learn about the truth of venting and its benefits and dangers? In this
“Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.” Proverbs 28:6This episode we break down what the heck this word "integrity" means and explore the importance of it in Scripture. We have become
Proverbs 27:5-6 says “Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend, profuse are the kisses of an enemy.” Calling out our friends can be so terrifying and nerve-wracking. It's not something we teach or talk about v
Proverbs 26: 12 says "Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.” It's pretty common for us to believe we are wise in our own eyes, but there can be some serious danger to such thinking. Claiming
Proverbs 25:28 says "A man with no self-control is like a city broken into and without walls." If the city has no walls, what do you think that communicates to neighboring enemies who see it? Of course, they see it as an opportunity to attack,
Proverbs 24: 17-18 says "Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles. Lest the Lord see it and be displeased and turn away his anger from him." Politics season is on the rise with mid-terms coming up in
Proverbs 23:6-8 says "Do not eat the bread of a man who is stingy; do not desire his delicacies, for he is like one who is inwardly calculating. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you. You will vomit up the morsels that
Verse 13 says " The sluggard says "There is a lion outside! I shall be killed in the streets." In other words, the lazy person will make the craziest excuses for why not to do something. Usually we point fingers and think of others who do that,
Proverbs 21:11 says 'The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. ' When we rush into things for the sake of impatience and a desire to see results, it almost always works against us. Not
Verse 11 says "Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright." If you were put on trial for claiming to be a Christian, and your actions had to testify for you, would you be proven guilty (Christian) o
Verse 11 tells us "Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is to his glory to overlook an offense" We are notorious for holding grudges and being hypersensitive to everything around us. Unfortunately, culture feeds this kind of mindset and i
Proverbs 18:13 tells us "If one gives an answer before he hears, it is to his folly and shame." We are SO quick to react to everything we see and hear or even to give response/our opinion without knowing all the details. As believers, we must g
Proverbs 17:17 says "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." Are you a friend who loves at all times? Or have we fixated ourselves on a conditional love that forfeits the kind of love Christ calls us to? This chapter
Proverbs 16:9 tells us "A mans heart plans his ways, but the Lord establishes his steps" and Proverbs 16:3 says "Commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established." Too often we immobilize ourselves in fear that we are making deci
Proverbs 15:22 say "Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers, they succeed." In order to seek out advisers, we have to first have plans. If we don't have any plans or goals in life, there's no reason to seek advice, right? Well, when
Proverbs 14:4 says "Where there is no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops comes from the strength of the ox." If you want to have the beautiful "Pinterest" perfect life, then never step outside of your home and you will never find mes
Proverbs 13:3 says "' Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin." Some studies suggest we can speak an average of 16,000 words per day. If that is even remotely true, imagine how much life we are miss
Proverbs 12:25 says "Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad." We've talked about it before but there is so much anxiety in this country right now that it's not even funny. People are weighed down by the things
Proverbs 11:24 says "One gives freely and grows all the richer, another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want." How true is it that when we hold back from giving, we always find ourselves in a place of discontentment and always w
Proverbs 10:7 says "The memory of the righteous will be a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot." Give it some thought but what legacy are you trying to leave? What impact do you want to leave here on Earth? Do you want to be known as s
Chapter 9 compares and contrasts the ways of wisdom and the ways of folly. A key verse from it, Proverbs 9: Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you reprove a wise man, and he will love you." The takeaway for us isn't necessarily to reprov

No one magically wakes up one day and finds themselves cheating on their spouse or significant other. For every "major" sin, there are a thousand sins in private. Solomon warns us not to even wander down the path that leads to adultery and that
