Proverbs 14:12
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”
I recently came across a newspaper headline announcing that some educator had designed a system in which there are no wrong answers. I confess that my initial reaction was one of disgust as I refuse to spend time with such foolishness.
It did cause me to pause and contemplate how the unregenerate (unsaved) person stands against the truth that each of us “have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
Do we really need some ridiculous notion that we need to coddle young minds into believing that there are no wrong answers in life? Read any newspaper and you will discover that our society is flooded with wrong answers!
The truth be told, there is a correct answer to the reality of life. That correct answer is the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ who came into the world and provided us with the eternally correct answer to the problem of sin in our life. It is only when we choose to bow before Him and receive His eternal salvation that we will find that He is eager to receive us into His glorious kingdom.
May God richly bless others by your words and actions!

Proverbs 4:5
“Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.”
There always seems to be someone who claims to have all of the answers. There are those who claim to have the ability to know the future and advise the unwary of how to profit from this so-called special counsel that can be obtained for a low, low price – – – but only if you act now! Sound familiar?
God gives us His wise counsel in the Bible. We read in Hebrews 4:13; “He knows about everyone, everywhere. Everything about us is bare and wide open to the all-seeing eyes of our living God; nothing can be hidden from him to whom we must explain all that we have done.”
There is only one true source of truly wise counsel and that is God. We need to increasingly spend time in His Word and hide it in our heart. If you want to know what is absolute truth go to God in prayer and then spend time in His Word.
It is tragic that many Christians never read their Bible. Sadly there are some who do not even know where they have left theirs. At best some carry it to church, but the rest of the time it is neglected. If you need WISE COUNSEL, go to the source .
May God richly bless others by your words and actions!
