  • LongLife and the New American Standard Bible (NASB) #0013

    Life and Conduct

    In this Post we have 5 Proverbs of Solomon that help us to know how we are to behave if we seek LongLife.

    Starting and finishing with the 9th Commandment: Deuteronomy 5 : 20 ‘You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.’

    On Life and Conduct
    Proverbs 19
    9 [...]

    LongLife and the New American Standard Bible (NASB) #0012

    In today’s verses Solomon tells us some ways that the upright person will differ in outcome from the wicked person. Again we see here the righteous person along with the person who thinks and acts wisely before he speaks and the person who thinks before he acts, before he does one thing or another, before he [...]

    LongLife and the New American Standard Bible (NASB) #0011

    In the November 1st Post I gave the definition of Righteous and listed a few verses related to Righteousness as it pertains to LongLife.
    In the 11th chapter of Proverbs, Solomon encourages us to not only be Righteous but to continually be Righteous if our goal is to “attain to life”.

    Proverbs 11
    Contrast the Upright and the Wicked
    [...]

    LongLife and the New American Standard Bible (NASB) #0010

    Last Sunday we looked at a few of Solomon’s proverbs that told us how we should act in order to gain LongLife. Then near the end of Proverbs Chapter 10 he addresses how we should think, what should be in our hearts and minds. Solomon uses the word “fear” here but it may not be [...]

    LongLife and the New American Standard Bible (NASB) #0008

    Why do you suppose it is that Solomon repeats the admonition about how the partaking of Wisdom equals LongLife over and over? It must be very important. Yet so many people stop the quest for wisdom once they leave the formal schooling of their youth.

    In Proverbs chapter 9 Solomon introduces Wisdom with many fine [...]

    Another instruction from Solomon

    We started some weeks ago at Proverbs chapter 1 and now we are up to chapter 7. This Sunday the entire chapter admonishes us to pay attention and remember what we are taught and tells a story about a young man who didn’t listen and went astray to visit a harlot. Rather [...]

    LongLife and the New American Standard Bible (NASB) #0005

    A dear friend of mine who follows this Blog recently suggested that I split up my Sunday posts from my weekday posts. The reason behind this request was that if I ever wanted to “monetize” my Blog I would get a greater following without mixing the Scripture with the Science. I’ve put a lot of thought [...]

    Another beautiful Sunday morning on the Oregon Coast!
    Today’s quote is twice as long as last Sundays, but again, to get the full understanding of the last verse the preceding verses are necessary. Here Solomon instructs us to gain understanding by acquiring wisdom and if we do as he instructs we will live a long life.

    Proverbs 4: [...]

    LongLife and the New American Standard Bible (NASB) #0003

    Good Sunday morning!
    Today’s quote is longer that the past two Sundays in order to get the context of the individual verse. Here we see that if we study and seek wisdom, as apposed to just the acquisition of knowledge, we can expect to, as last Sundays verse revealed, have peace in our long life. Long life [...]
