Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 9. I will then key in on verse 8 - Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Give instruction to a wise man, and he will love you. Friends, this verse often separates the difference between a Christian and one who doesn't see the need to invite Jesus into their hearts. A Christian tends to be humble, while a scoffer ordinarily is filled with pride. On today's podcast I will begin by reviewing the three points I introduced on Monday's podcast (Episode #786 - if you didn't get a chance to tune in to that episode, I invite you to check it out). I will then continue our study of the Book of Ephesians, going over Chapter 4, verses 29 & 30. By the end of today's lesson there are three things I ask that you consider:
1. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification.
2. We should behave and speak differently once we become Christians.
3. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Scriptures referenced on today's podcast:

Call to Action - Are you open to correction from people who love you, or are you not open to correction?
