Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 21. I will then key in on verse 3 - To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. Friends, God wants more than anything that we are sincere and obedient to God and to His word. On today's lesson I will continue our study of keys to becoming a mature Christian. This will be the 5th lesson on this study. I will review what we have already discussed: 1. To become a mature Christian you first need to become a Christian. You need to say the sinner's prayer. Then I mentioned that the devil will immediately come to you and tell you that you don't "need" this "Christian" nonsense - but that's a lie. Next we spent the past two Friday's going over the importance of our words, and how we should only speak if we have thought out and spent time thinking about what you're actually going to say. On today's lesson I will give scriptural reference to the pact that the word of God is important and that it is beneficial for you. By the end of today's lesson there are three things I ask that you consider:
1. Desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.
2. Thie Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night.
3. Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
