Proverbs 13 Thesis

760 Words4 Pages

The Book of Proverbs teaches on wisdom, tradition, and raises questions of values and moral behavior. As a Christian one must accept His instruction and apply it to their lives and then they will see the benefits of His instruction. In reading Proverbs 13, God says that one should take heed and follow the direction that is given. Believers should accept what is being told to them in a cheerful manner, to listen with intent and then to go forth with diligence. How they respond will determine the consequences and how it will affect the world in which they live. The way to honor God’s word is by being faithful, obedient, and successful; this is what the message of Proverbs 13 teaches. Because God is so faithful that anyone who seeks …show more content…

Man is living in a time where God’s instructions are no longer being taught. Generations of believers are losing the battle to a younger, selfish group that values nothing and no one. Life to them is limited to the Natural only, “If they want, then take it”. They don’t understand that life is filled with consequences that follow them. Another pattern is the surge of abuse and the torture of women. The lack of respect for God’s will for the family is being tested daily. Men are not standing as head of the family that God gave them. Even though, are called to be the head of the family and they are not taking on this command. Women are being raped, enslaved, mistreated and cast aside. This horrific behavior is then passed on to the children. The breakdown of the roles and the dynamics of both men and women have changed how the family is portrayed in today’s world. Now, women are killing and abusing their own children at an alarming rate. Romans 1:18-19: “18 God shows his anger from heaven against all the evil and wrong things that people do. Their evil lives hide the truth they have. 19 This makes God angry because they have been shown what he is like. Yes, God has made it clear to them.” God’s plan is the same since the beginning, nothing has

    They wanted to be just like God and walk in his shoe, but he can’t be evil or feel. That day they doom the whole world and know we can never be close to God like they once were. In the book of Exodus God said that if we would even look at him we would be no more. (Sharpe, 2014, pp.3). Suffering and evil is so apart of us and we still don’t see it and can’t realize how it is in us.

    That is what women started doing. They started speaking how they felt, and it lead to torture and abuse, but you can’t get anywhere, you can’t make a change without a start. “In the Time of the Butterflies” that’s what the Mirabal sisters did; they got tired of how women were treated like dirt. These women knew they were just as much apart of this world as men were. Most women probably wanted to do something about it they were just scared, but the Mirabal sisters did do something about it .

    “The Parable of the Sower” and other related parables in Mark 4 explain how one should listen to the word of God and treat others. Jesus says, “And these are the ones sown on the good soil: they hear the word and accept it and bear fruit,” (Mark 4) in order to emphasize how the people who accept and understand the word of God and live by it will be saved. Other texts such as Matthew 5-7, emphasize obedience in thought and deed to God. In this text, Jesus interpreted the Ten Commandments in a new way, telling his followers how they should act in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. He said, “Whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5).

Many women who choose to neglect their children for men usually live in poor conditions such as when a single mother can’t provide for her family she will find a man who can take care of business within the household, usually when single mothers find men to take care of their families the men tend to be abusive and sometimes sexual to children.

In return, God kept His promises to Abraham and will keep His promise today to every Christian who will make every effort to live a faithfully obedient life. He promises to love us and forgive when we genuinely repent and remain obedient to Him. Surely, as we learn from God’s dealings with the people in the Old Testament, it is obvious that the only way to enjoy the benefits of God’s promises is to obey Him. On the other

  • Examples Of An Aphorism

    237 Words  | 1 Pages

    I chose the aphorism “Do as I say, not as I do.” and I disagree with this aphorism for a few reasons, but first I’ll explain what it means. “Do as I say, not as I do.” means that you want someone to follow your verbal instructions instead of following your example. One could argue that if you could be better off to listen to them instead of following their example, but if their example is that bad then why would you listen to them in the first place, so I am disagreeing as if someone respectable is making this claim. My biggest disagreement is that it seems hypocritical for someone to not practice what they preach.
