Wisdom's Worldview (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Life is complicated. Parenting, money, conflict, work: all of it needs skill, not just information. Proverbs says that skill starts somewhere specific, with the fear of the Lord. That fear is not running away in terror but drawing near in awe to the God who made and governs reality. Clever people who reject Him still end up fools. Only Jesus lived in that reverence perfectly, and after the cross He poured out His Spirit, so wisdom comes as a gift rather than an achievement. Bible References: Pro
Micah: Judgment and Restoration (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Faith fades in one generation, morals in the next. Micah, a prophet in Judah, spoke to people who had dropped both, and God warned that He was coming down to deal with their sin. Samaria and Jerusalem became rubble, yet Micah also promised a ruler born in Bethlehem who would shepherd His people and be their peace. God pardons sin, treads it underfoot, and hurls it into the depths of the sea. Forgiven people stop trying to earn favour and instead act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly. Bible Ref
Obadiah—a Brother's Keeper (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Edom lived high in the rock cliffs and thought nobody could bring them down. Through Obadiah, God says otherwise, and pride is only half the charge. When invaders ransacked Jerusalem, Edom stood by, gloated, and hunted down the escaping survivors of their brother nation. God brought Edom down, and that nation is gone. The last line carries the hope: the kingdom will be the Lord's, so bow to Jesus now and stand on the winning side. Bible Reference: Obadiah Preacher: John Westendorp
God's Prophet. A Revolutionary! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Amos bred sheep and tended fig trees. God took him from the flock and sent him to prosperous Israel, where fine houses and busy worship hid cheating, bribes and abuse. God held a builder's plumb line against that nation and showed a wall too crooked to keep. Amos means one who bears a burden, and Jesus carried the burden of judgement to the cross. Ordinary workers still speak for God where preachers cannot reach, calling for repentance and real change before Jesus returns. Bible References: Matt
Who is Praying? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A man bangs on his neighbour's door at midnight until he gets bread, not because they are friends but because he will not stop asking. That, Jesus says, is how to pray. The point is not that God is reluctant; it is that God has made His people children in His own family. Only a child tugs at a father's sleeve again and again and still trusts him. So keep asking, and take a no or a not yet as your Father's care. Bible References: Luke 11:1–13, 18:1–8 Preacher: Tony Van Drimmelen
