Proverbially Speaking

From the 2008, volume 46, number 2 edition of The Sword and Staff, pg. 2, come the following proverbs of wisdom along with related articles:

• Knowledge points the way; wisdom gets us there (Proverbs 1:1-7; Proverbs 4:1-13).

• We reap what we sow, only in greater proportions (Gal. 6:7-8; cf. 2 Samuel 12:1-23).

• If you live in the fast lane, you may find it hard to slow down to make a right turn (Luke 15:11-16).

• The Lord's Supper is a memorial to God's forgetting (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 8:12; Hebrews 9).

• Let us preach as never sure to preach again as a dying man to dying men (2 Corinthians 4:1-14).

• A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle and then lighting others; and, likewise, by loving others, we lose nothing and everyone is made to gain as our whole surroundings become aglow (Matthew 5:14-16).

• We may not be what we think we are, but we are what we think (Proverbs 23:6-7).

• Being a real Christian, enhances your capacity to love your husband or wife even more (Ephesians 5:23-33; cf. 1 Peter 3:1-7).
