Wisdom

Proverbs 17:27 (NLT)
A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered.

Conseqence of Disobedience

1 Chronicles 10:13-14 (ESV)
So Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance.

Proverbs 15:28

Proverbs 15:28 (NLT)
The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking; the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.

The Holy Spirit

1 Samuel 16:13 (MSG)
Samuel took his flask of oil and anointed him, with his brothers standing around watching. The Spirit of god entered David like a rush of wind, God vitally empowering him for the rest of his life. Samuel left and went home to Ramah.

Obedience over Worship

1 Samuel 15:22 (MSG)
Then Samuel said, Do you think all god wants are sacrifices— empty rituals just for show? He wants you to listen to him! Plain listening is the thing, not staging a lavish religious production. Not doing what god tells you is far worse than fooling around in the occult. Getting self-important around god is far worse than making deals with your dead ancestors. Because you said No to god's command, he says No to your kingship.

Celebrating God!

1 Samuel 4:5 (MSG)
When the Chest of the Covenant of god was brought into camp, everyone gave a huge cheer. The shouts were like thunderclaps shaking the very ground. The Philistines heard the shouting and wondered what on earth was going on: "What's all this shouting among the Hebrews?"

Why we need to tell.

Judges 2:10 (MSG)
Eventually that entire generation died and was buried. Then another generation grew up that didn't know anything of god or the work he had done for Israel.

Living Righteous, Put Off-Put On

Following Jesus

Deuteronomy 17:19 (MSG)

Tithe Questions

Deuteronomy 14:22-26 (NLT)
“You must set aside a tithe of your crops—one-tenth of all the crops you harvest each year.

Obedience / Disobedience

Deuteronomy 11:26-28 (MSG)
I've brought you today to the crossroads of Blessing and Curse.

Parent Discipleship

Deuteronomy 11:18-21 (MSG)
Place these words on your hearts. Get them deep inside you. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder. Teach them to your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning until you fall into bed at night. Inscribe them on the doorposts and gates of your cities so that you'll live a long time, and your children with you, on the soil that god promised to give your ancestors for as long as there is a sky over the Earth.

Benefits of Obedience

Deuteronomy 4:5-6 (MSG)
Pay attention: I'm teaching you the rules and regulations that god commanded me, so that you may live by them in the land you are entering to take up ownership. Keep them. Practice them. You'll become wise and understanding. When people hear and see what's going on, they'll say, "What a great nation! So wise, so understanding! We've never seen anything like it."

Act a fool, get treated like a fool

Numbers 33:55-56 (MSG)
"But if you don't drive out the native population, everyone you let stay there will become a cinder in your eye and a splinter in your foot. They'll give you endless trouble right in your own backyards. And I'll start treating you the way I planned to treat them."
