Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 25. I will then key in on verse 11 - A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. Friends, it is better to say nothing than to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. I often ask God for discernment - meaning that He bring people into my path that I can be an encouragement to, and be a good witness of the Gospel with His name. Luke was a Gentile, meaning he is the only author of the entire Bible that was not Jewish. Luke, most people believe, died a martyr's death at the age of 84 years of age. What I find interesting is that no one knows the certainty of the year of his birth, or the year of his death. One thing I find admirable about Luke is the thoroughness of his gospel. He did not write the gospel until 30 years had passed since the crucifixion of Jesus. I will begin this study by reading the first four verses of Chapter #1. Luke wrote this book to Gentiles, but specifically to a man named Theophilus. Upon completion of this lesson, there are three things that I ask that you consider:
1. Luke's gospel is a good place to start the reading of the Bible.
2. Zacharias & Elizabeth are a lot like Abraham and Sarah (found in the Book of Genesis).
3. Zacharias was punished for not believing the words spoken to him by the angel Gabriel.
