vs. 11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
I like how the Bible shows us the connection between the heart and our speech. We are told in Proverbs 4:23 to keep our heart. This world is geared to take our hearts from purity and fix it on many sorts of uncleanness and so we need to be the more so zealous to stay clean. Only then will blessings come out when we "hammer our thumbs"
I receive wisdom to understand the Truth of the word of God so I can give an answer to an inquiring soul. Maybe to an unbeliever to help him or her see the truth of the
Light.

(This is my RESPONSE on "christie"'s COMMENT dated 9/19/2013 at 8:25am about Proverbs Chapter 22):...If someone tells you a LIE about your spouse and keeps on insisting that it is true, then do this, "Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease" ( proverbs 22:10). MEANING: Let him go, instead of listening to his LIES, because he is creating a fury on your heart against your spouse. But you must do it in a way that he will not feel OFFENDED because God said, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" ( Mark 12:31). In this way, he will stop or cease in talking LIES to you about your spouse. Do this also, "Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul" ( Proverbs 22:24-25). MEANING: Do not be a friend to him because he talks LIES to you about your spouse which you do not like. It is better to keep yourself away from him than to learn his ways. Being near to him might cause a fire to burst on your heart and soul against him. It may lead you to do something bad against him which is against the bible saying, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you" ( Matthew 5:44). You can do that even you are not near to him.
This can be said of the United States Republican Congress. I thank the Lord that he will
deal with those who oppress the poor and give to the rich.

When parents gives commandments and a way of lyf on chilrens they a opening their bright future.we as children we becomes pasters, teachersscientists and etc as fruits plantent by parents Ephicians 6:4-6
Very prophetic and spot on.
I knew not that the only and every 4 relationships in my life would be seriously abusive...There is a lack of man in many many men today.Better for me to be alone.
adding to our knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ is our skills and talents. They are manifested in beauty if Christ is the Lord of our life. Prov.18;16 says, a man gift paves way for him and present him before kings.
this is one scripture that has worked for me.i dont want to be talked about as a fraudster.if you dont pay whater you owe to people, they will always hold you in their power
If we are diligent in everything we do, God will advance us to work in his kingdom. on this way we will stand before the King of kings, Jesus Christ the Lord.
Teach by example and it will work, a pious character is the main heritage a father can give to his children! We are living the time of witness transference.
It is worthy of note that the Bible points to sin as the beginning of evil in the world. And as the prudent is the one who bears God's character, knowing the consequences of sin through the Bible, he can avoid them and not suffer hurt!
God, I am only a teenager but I long to understand your word. I have been going through a lot lately but please show me a sign that I am where I need to be and show me whether I need to make this relationship work. In Jesus� name, AMEN.

Proverbs 22:10 We have to be careful of the people we hire in our organization, for their scornful activities can cause division. So seek the Lord for wisdom, and He will tell you which person will bring peace and contentment. Look for people that are diligent in their business, and they will be a blessing to others.

Proverbs 22:1 A good name is rather to be chosen than riches, and loving favor than silver and gold. Many people are giving up their integrity, to become rich. The scripture teaches us that a good name should be chosen rather than riches. There are some that count gain as godliness, but godliness with contention is great gain. When we desire integrity rather than riches, God will bless us with honor, and life. We must live our lives free from the love of money, so that we can boldly say the Lord is my helper, and I shall not fear what man can do unto me.
