Proverbs 11

Today is a busy day, but I want to give you a piece of my quiet time from this morning and from Proverbs 11.  Read and may God guide each of us!!!
 
10 When good people succeed, the city is happy.  When evil people die, there are shouts of joy.

 11 Good people bless and build up their city, but the wicked can destroy it with their words.

 12 People without good sense find fault with their neighbors, but those with understanding keep quiet.

 13 Gossips can't keep secrets, but a trustworthy person can.

 14 Without leadership a nation falls, but lots of good advice will save it. 

 17 Kind people do themselves a favor,  but cruel people bring trouble on themselves.

 18 An evil person really earns nothing, but a good person will surely be rewarded.

 19 Those who are truly good will live, but those who chase after evil will die.

 20 The Lord hates those with evil hearts but is pleased with those who are innocent. 

 23 Those who do right only wish for good, but the wicked can expect to be defeated by God's anger.

 24 Some people give much but get back even more. Others don't give what they should and end up poor. 

 25 Whoever gives to others will get richer; those who help others will themselves be helped. 

 27 Whoever looks for good will find kindness, but whoever looks for evil will find trouble.

 28 Those who trust in riches will be ruined, but a good person will be healthy like a green leaf. 

 30 A good person gives life to others; the wise person teaches others how to live.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
