Proverbially Speaking

From the 2012, volume 50, number 3 edition of The Sword and Staff, pg. 2, come the following proverbs of wisdom along with related articles:
  • The closer we get to God, the more we realize just how far away from Him that we really are (Isaiah 6:1-5).
  • The closer we get to the light, the more conspicuous our sins become (John 3:19-20).
  • "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21). Paul could say "to dies is gain" because for him, "to live" was "Christ" (and it must be in this order for the last to be true).
