Christian Warrior Mission trains believers to stand firm in a collapsing world.
We are a discipleship ministry, home-based warrior church, and working farm that comes alongside local churches—not to replace them, but to strengthen them by equipping men and women to lead, protect, provide, and disciple according to God’s Word.
We train across the Seven Battlefields:
Faith • Family • Fitness • Fundamentals • Finances • Fellowship • Fidelity
This is not a place for spectators, excuses, or passive Christianity.
This is where believers learn to pick up the Sword of Scripture, fortify their households, and lock shields with other warriors in Christ.
We build households that stand. We strengthen churches. We prepare saints for real-world battle.
No retreat. No surrender. Christ is King.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Good morning everyone .
Just going to get a quick soundcheck to make sure you can hear
me before I go into it.
Let's see if you guys can hearme.
(00:51):
Can you hear me?
I'm not sure if I'm playing inthe other room.
Hold on, I apologize.
All right, you can't hear me.
(01:14):
I'm sorry.
Sometimes that takes a lotlonger than I'd like to.
Good morning, my love.
Hopefully I'll get better andit's a long time.
Welcome to your daily battle,the Bible study, where we fight
three battles.
One we fight to get a.
Why do I use the word fight?
(01:34):
Because it's not easy.
Our default would be otherwise.
So we fight ourselves to behumble, right.
We fight our swollen heads.
We fight our entitlements andwhat we think.
We fight to have a humble andgrateful heart.
(01:55):
For many of us, our naturalstate is not humility, it's
entitlement.
We are never grateful, we'revery rarely grateful but
entitled.
So proper alignment, starting arelationship with God, the first
, first step, coming to himcorrectly, which is humble,
(02:19):
grateful.
You start on that footing whenyou go to God, you're starting
off correctly.
Two we fight again that wordfight because it takes time
investing.
You are fighting your fleshlydesires and your worldly desires
to make time to pursuerelationship with God Now.
(02:46):
The enemy and the world andyour flesh would rather do a
million things right now, okay.
But we fight ourselves in theworld enemy, to have a
relationship with our lord andsavior, okay.
We do that through the studyingof his holy text and through
(03:09):
prayer, and then we pray for oneanother, we invest in others,
we lock our shields of faith.
We as a community, as afellowship, point our faith in
our souls at heaven and weappeal and pray for one another.
(03:33):
So that's what we do hereMonday through Friday.
So let's go ahead and let'spray it in, get a humble and
great body aligned on the Lord,heavenly Father.
Lord, we thank you.
Thank you for all of ourblessings, known and unknown.
We thank you for theopportunity to once again wake
up and get it right.
(03:55):
Thank you for giving us anotherchance.
Thank you for protecting us andour families, our homes, during
the night.
Lord, we are blown away by yourlove for us, your design, lord.
(04:20):
We are so thankful for thetrillions of cells that we have
in our body that had to workperfectly just for us to wake up
this morning.
Lord, we'll never know yourprotections on this side of
heaven, but we know they'rethere.
We know that you've turned awaydisaster from us and saved us
(04:44):
more times than we'll ever know.
We thank you.
Help us to be grateful, lord,and not entitled Lord.
So many of us are battlingissues in life Sorrows, disease,
(05:06):
debilitating body, bad finances, sin patterns.
Debilitating body, bad finances, sin patterns, aches and pains,
betrayals.
Help us to check our gripes andcomplaints at the door.
(05:30):
There's no feeling sorry foryourself.
Here we are all blessed.
Help us to see that, being bornin the waste, our lives in
(05:56):
endless entertainment anddistraction.
Help us instead to live apurposeful life for you, serving
others.
Lord, we thank you for yourcommon race, the universe, the
sun, the moon, the stars, thisearth, everything from the
(06:19):
tallest mountain to the deepestsea and everything in between,
the animals, plants, everythingelse wondrous about your
creation.
Lord, we thank you for thepeople in this world, the people
in our lives.
Help us to remain present inthe time that we're with them.
(06:43):
Help us to treasure everymoment, appreciate it and to
leave nothing unsaid.
We thank you for the sunrise,the sunset, thank you for a
(07:06):
touch of a loved one, coolbreeze on a hot day.
Thank you for the sound ofbirds in the morning, children's
laughter.
Thank you for the smell offlowers and honeysuckle and good
(07:32):
food cooking.
Thank you for the taste goodfood, drink.
We thank you for it all.
Most of all, we thank you foryour divine grace Choosing us
while we were still your enemies, writing us into the book of
(07:56):
life, meeting us together in ourmother's wombs.
We thank you, lord.
We thank you At this time thatwe are together, glorify you and
only you, serve you and onlyyou.
May it please you, lord, pleasegrant us wisdom and discernment
and have your Holy Spiritreveal to us the words of this
(08:21):
text.
We pray all these things inJesus' name.
Amen.
All right, battle number onedone.
Hey, captain Caveman, good tosee you.
All right.
Battle number one done.
Hey, captain caveman, good tosee you.
Battle number one done.
(08:49):
Let's pull up the text now.
Uh, chapter 10, I think,through 15.
The bible changes.
Well, the author changes up hisstyle and way of displaying
things.
You're going to see a lot ofeither or, and there is
(09:16):
linguistic things to talk abouthere if you're into linguistic
things.
And what poetry and I apologize, I still get my eyes from my
CPAP blowing in my face,sometimes all my eyes into, like
a gel.
But, um, that's not what we'regoing to focus on.
We're going to focus onapplication and what it's really
saying.
Now I'm going to be honest withyou.
I grappled with a lot of this.
(09:36):
I had a little bit behind thismorning because I had to.
Good morning, steve Riley.
I had to use a lot of resourcesto make sense of some of the
archaic language here in LSB,even my.
(10:00):
I must be extra slow thismorning because even the message
when I went to it it wasn'talways apparent.
So let's go ahead and let'schew on this and see if we can,
in all the resources that I havehere pulled up on my screen,
(10:20):
come up with what exactly isbeing said here.
So again, we are in Proverbs 10.
We're in Proverbs 10.
We're in Proverbs 10.
Contrast of the righteous andthe wicked.
Now, some of these are going tobe, you know, the righteous
(10:44):
does this and the wicked doesthis, and then some of them are
going to actually be.
You'll see the word and andthey're talking about the same
group.
So don't you got to be carefulwhen we read this that we don't
just read it all the same.
Proverbs of Solomon.
Why son makes a father gladwhen a foolish son has grief to
(11:08):
his mother.
Treasures gained by wickednessdo not profit.
Righteousness delivers fromdeath.
So in verse 2, we're talkingabout ultimate faith here, so
that even, as we see often isthe case, the wicked are wealthy
, the wicked are powerful, thewicked are famous.
(11:29):
The wicked have all thesethings often.
Ultimately, in the end, they donot profit.
The righteous, who may havenone of those things, is
delivered from death witheternal life.
Yahweh will not allow the soulof a righteous to hunger,
(11:49):
meaning if your soul is hungryfor him.
He will feed you, but he willpush away the craving of the
wicked.
Now, if you just read that,you're thinking he's pushing
away the craving.
What he's pushing away is whatyou're craving in them, what the
wicked is craving.
So it's constantly out of theirreach.
They can't get enough enough.
(12:09):
Their sin will always leavethem hungry.
Poor is he who works with theslack end.
Okay, poor is the lazy person.
The bible does not lazy people,right?
(12:36):
God does not want you to belazy, he wants you to be active.
But the hand of the diligentmakes rich.
Again, talking about how heworks hard, honors God and will
be wealthy.
It may be wealthy in blessings.
It may be wealthy in the eyesof God and in the kingdom of
heaven, or it may mean realwealth.
(12:59):
He who gathers in summer is theson who acts insightfully.
So this is talking about thefarmer.
Farmers do so much work in thesummer, their busiest time,
whereas if you look at, say,kids or the school system,
summer is the time of relaxationand flat and slacking off right
(13:26):
, whereas the farmer know thatthat's their work season.
Okay, and before grocery stores, before everything else,
everyone was their own farmer.
Everyone grew majority of theirown food, raised it.
One had a milk cow.
You lost your milk cow, animaldevastating.
(14:01):
So again, verse 5, he whogathers in the summer is a son
who acts insightfully.
He who sleeps in harvest is ason who acts shamefully.
In verse 6, blessings are onthe head of the righteous, so
blessings will be put upon you.
(14:21):
The mouth of the wicked coversup violence.
That term covers there.
It covers up violence meaningthat it obscures, it covers that
it's going to do violence andconceals the violence it's done.
(14:43):
Seven the remembrance of therighteous is blessed, good
person, and you're remembered.
It's a blessed thing.
You're remembered because youwere a good person.
The name of the wicked will rot.
You're remembered either,infamously, the famous and the
(15:04):
most evil of the lot.
Sorry thanks for catching that,lauren.
I got to adjust this whole,this whole thing.
I appreciate you telling meit's cutting out.
I got to move my things around,so I'm not looking at it on my
screen over here and not that,and project accordingly, sorry,
(15:30):
um, and I gotta turn down my mygame and noise game.
So thank you, um, you, um.
So.
So again, in less infamous terms, let's talk about not hitler,
who will be remembered for howwicked he was, just bad people
(15:50):
around you, people who are of noconsequences.
No, they have no one aroundthem because they've been
nothing but vile.
They have a life of selfishnessand narcissism and their world
as they age, when they're youngand desirable, and all this.
(16:11):
They're all selfish and they'reall about absorbing everyone's
resources and experience andusing people.
The bill for that is an emptylife and to be forgotten, alone,
with no kids.
No, nothing, no one will everremember you.
The wise of heart will receivecommandments, but an ignorant
(16:37):
fool of loose lips will beruined, but an ignorant fool of
loose lips will be ruined.
So again, if you're wise, godis investing in you.
See you later, brandon, andyou'll receive God's
commandments.
But an ignorant fool of looselips will be ruined.
(17:04):
You walks in integrity.
Walk securely.
Okay, if you're telling thetruth and you're always doing
the right thing, that life maynot be easy to live, but it's
easy to remember because there'sno dishonesty.
There's only one truth whathappened?
But if you make your waycrooked, you will be found out.
(17:24):
How many lives do you have toremember?
Thinking up in verse 10.
Thinking up in verse 10, he whowinks the eye causes pain.
This is the winks the eye islike sly communication.
(17:49):
You know, um, you know theadulterous woman winking at the
man trying to seduce him.
Or um merchant trying to to winyou over with a wink and
letting you know when they'redoing something underhanded.
Or a man flirting with somebodyelse's wife or person and
(18:15):
winking.
And an ignorant fool of looselips will be ruined.
Somebody who gossips all thetime.
The mouth of the righteous is afountain of life.
Okay, verse 11.
A fountain of life meaning thatit's constantly building people
(18:38):
up and spreading life and light.
The mouth of the wicked coversup violence.
Hatred stirs up strife.
If you hate, you are alwayswalking around in conflict and
(19:01):
will always spread conflict.
And again I'm way off-centercuz I sorry guys, I'm gonna
change my setup here.
See if I can To not be sochaotic here.
Be way over here, away from it.
(19:22):
But love covers alltransgressions.
Okay, again, here we see andmentioned that love covers up
transgressions.
All right, even in the eyes ofGod, love covers up a multitude
of sins.
Love covers up a multitude ofsins.
(19:44):
So all of us knuckleheads whoare sinners, and all of us who
struggle with sin, which isevery human on the planet, by
loving and doing acts of serviceand kindness, dying to self,
you're covering your sins, whichis a great thing.
(20:05):
We all need that.
Verse 13, on the lips of the onewho has understanding, wisdom
is found.
That's easy to understand.
But a rod is for the back of hewho lacks a heart of wisdom.
Punishment is coming and a hardlife Discipline is coming to
(20:27):
those who do not have wisdom.
Verse 14, wise men store upknowledge and that's the most
valuable thing in the world.
The mouth of the ignorant fooldraws ruin.
Near thing in the world.
The mouth of the ignorantfool's draw ruin, draws ruin.
So again, people, a fooltalking invites ruin.
(20:49):
Verse 15 the rich man's wealthis a strong city.
The ruin of the poor is theirpoverty.
Okay, now I can think of areally good example.
Donald Trump, after the lastelection, was able to weather
the entire deep state comingafter him because he had wealth.
(21:10):
He could weather the punishmentof the court systems.
He could weather lawsuits andthe unjust prosecution.
He could fight back because hehad massive reserves.
Okay, he had massive reserves.
He can do that, whereassomebody who doesn't have poor
(21:32):
person has nothing.
Any little stumble is acatastrophe when you're poor.
Any little setback or trial isa catastrophe when you're poor.
Any little setback or trial isa catastrophe when you're poor.
Sixteen the wages of a righteouslife.
Sorry, the wages of righteouslife.
(21:56):
You're righteous.
The life, eternal life, is yourreward, your pay, the income of
the wicked is punishment, nomatter how rich they may seem,
no matter how extravagant theirlife, punishment is eternal.
Punishment is coming to thosewho are wicked.
(22:18):
Verse 17, he is on the path oflife who keeps discipline, but
he who forsakes reproof ordiscipline makes himself wander
about.
Okay, disciplined people arenot easily distracted.
(22:38):
They are able to endure pain orgain, whereas people who don't
have it will just take instantgratification or distraction and
choose to forget or put theirhead in the sand rather than
dealing with it, and because ofthat they wander about aimlessly
(23:04):
.
18, he who covers up hatred haslying lips and he who spreads a
bad report is a fool.
Okay, those are the same person.
They're just building upon it.
He who covers up hatred haslying lips and he who spreads a
(23:26):
bad report is a fool.
Again, we're talking aboutgossip.
I'm going to go here to he whoconceals hatred.
The Hebrew word used here iskasah.
It was used with the same senseIn other places.
It is used to forgive.
Here it is used with a moredeceptive sense of conceal.
(23:49):
The person here tries to hidehatred Okay, tries to hide his
hatred.
Right.
10, sorry.
20.
Tongue of the righteous is aschoice as silver.
(24:09):
Okay, meaning, if you'rerighteous and your speech is
righteous, valuable as valuablesilver.
The heart of the wicked isworth little, worth nothing.
It's rotten.
Lips of the wicked is worthlittle worth nothing, it's
rotten.
The lips of the righteous feedmany Okay, in verse 21,.
The lips of the righteous feedmany.
(24:30):
But the ignorant fools die forlack of the heart of wisdom.
Okay, if you are, the more wiseyou are, the people around you
Gain from you Because you arewise and you spread that wisdom
(24:52):
and it feeds many.
But ignorant fools Die for alack of a heart of wisdom.
22 it is the blessing of Yahwehthat makes rich.
He adds no pain with it.
Again, this is meaning yourblessings from God are what make
you rich, not your bank account.
(25:13):
With those blessings he adds nopain.
23, doing wickedness is likelaughing at a fool, meaning you
can laugh at a fool and they'lllaugh right along with you.
It doesn't matter, it's notprofitable.
And so is wisdom to a man ofdiscernment.
Wisdom to a man of discernmentis priceless, but the wicked
(25:41):
dreads will come upon him, butthe desire of righteous will be
grateful.
The wicked know they are wickedand they know their doom and
they fear their doom and it willconsume them.
(26:02):
But the righteous, the opposite.
There will be granted, which iseternal life with God.
The whirlwind passes, thewicked is no more, but the
(27:34):
righteous has an everlastingfoundation.
The whirlwind of life passes,and trials and everything wicked
is no more.
They're in hell.
The righteous is an everlastingfoundation of eternal life,
(27:56):
like vinegar to the teeth andlike smoke to the eyes.
So is is the sluggard those whosend him Vinegar to the teeth,
acidic, destructive Smoke to theeyes again.
Acidic to the eyes burns youreyes includes what you're doing.
That is what a lazy person isto those who he works for.
(28:20):
The fear of Yahweh prolongslife, but the years of the
wicked will be shortened Again.
Fearing God first and onlyleads to a long life.
The expectation of therighteous is gladness, but the
(28:48):
hope of the wicked will perish.
If you are righteous, you are atpeace.
You're not at internal war,right, peace.
You're not an internal war,right.
But if you are wicked, you areconstantly at war with yourself
(29:11):
and you will patent how you haveno hope.
The way of Yahweh is astronghold to the one with
integrity, but ruin to theworkers of iniquity.
If you are walking in the waysof Yahweh God, he's your
(29:34):
stronghold.
But when you look at iniquity,pull it up.
(30:00):
Let's see if I can do this now.
Iniquity, bible word study, sin.
I am struggling this morningwith my tools Evil, calamity,
(30:26):
sin, injustice, deception.
I am struggling this morningwith my tools Evil, calamity,
sin, injustice, deception, falseidolatrous.
Okay, that's what we're talkingabout when we hear iniquity.
It's not a word that wetypically use a lot today.
It's a very negative word,verse 30, and we're almost done
(30:50):
here.
The righteous will never beshaken, but the wicked will not
dwell in the land.
Okay, they're talking aboutIsrael, but you can apply this
(31:10):
pretty much everywhere.
The righteous will always be.
They might be shaken becausethey stand and God, no matter
what, think of you know, I thinkof Christians who persevered in
horrible circumstancesthroughout history.
Wicked be easily displaced.
(31:30):
Do not dwell on the land.
That's what I take that to mean.
The mouth of the righteousbears wisdom, but the tongue of
perversions will be cut off.
The lips of the righteous knowwhat is acceptable, but the
(31:51):
mouth of the wicked know what isperverse.
When you're righteous, you'respeaking righteous.
You know what is acceptable.
In the mouth of the wicked,they know they are profane and
perverse, all right.
So again, I know there was nota lot of I wouldn't say heavy
(32:12):
lifting and deep theologicalprofoundness in that, but it was
a battle with the words.
I mean, I had to read over andover and over and over.
So many things understandcontext and some of the
(32:33):
subtleness of what was beingexplained, but you can see
positive and negative in them.
But what is that Like?
What is the context of that?
That's why it's really helpfulto have a tool like Logos that I
use or to have.
I mean, there's a lot of freeresources.
I mean, at a minimum, having agood study bible I recommend the
(32:53):
english standard version andversion study bible, um and then
being able to go to something.
Sometimes it's like I said,though sometimes I gotta go.
I'll read a passage in my, mylsB or my ESB and I'll be like
in the right country, okay.
(33:14):
Like, think of a map, I'm inouter space and I'm in, I'm over
the right country.
Then sometimes I have to go tothe message to try to get it, to
make it make sense and put itin plain English, to get me in
the right city.
Okay.
So now I'm zooming out fromhere down to the right city.
(33:34):
Then I got to go to my studyBibles get on the right street,
get on the right street, okay.
And then sometimes I have to goto commentaries and multiple
(33:56):
sources to get it to finally theright address.
It's the best way I can explainthat.
It might have been a little bitdifferent than I said the other
day.
You get the gist.
So, anyways, thank you forjoining me today for this Bible
study and investing indeliberately pursuing a
relationship with God throughhis word.
(34:16):
Thank you for sharing your cupof coffee, your first cup of
coffee, by making God the firstpriority of your day.
I pray that it blesses you.
So let's go ahead and do ourfinal part, here and um, and
let's let me bless.
Bless us now, dear heavenlyfather lord, we thank you.
(34:38):
Thank you for the time.
We thank you for each man andwoman who's watching us, who
dropped everything in their lifeto pursue a relationship with
you.
Lord, we thank you for your word, thank you for the wisdom of
the Proverbs that we're studyingnow.
Lord, help us apply to thelessons today.
Help them take root in our souland our thoughts and our hearts
(35:01):
, and help us apply them toeverything we do.
Lord, draw us all closertogether as we are in this
community.
We're trying to build somethinghere for you, lord, that will
shake the gates of hell andfortify believers here and
(35:24):
around the world.
Lord, help us to walk out yourwisdom.
Help us to make it our initialaction, our reflex to do
righteousness instead of ourreflex to do iniquity and sin.
(35:49):
Lord, forgive us of our sins aswe repent of them.
Lord, I pray that you wouldbless us with strength,
(36:21):
discernment, peace, protection,lord, for the persecuted church,
our troops, overseas veteranslast year and our first
responders at home, thisfellowship, our beloved America.
I pray that she would turn fromher sin, hit her knees and
(36:47):
repent and seek your face, thatyou would see her and heal her
so that we could once again beone nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty andjustice for all.
Lastly, I call this fellowshipput on the full armor of God,
strap on the shield of faith,pick up the sword of the Spirit
and boldly step forward to jointhe shield wall, locking shields
(37:10):
to the left and right.
As we march forward, takeground for your kingdom, for
your glory forever.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen, all right, everyone.
God bless you.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Good morning everyone .
Just going to get a quick soundcheck to make sure you can hear
me before I go into it.
Let's see if you guys can hearme.
(00:51):
Can you hear me?
I'm not sure if I'm playing inthe other room.
Hold on, I apologize.
All right, you can't hear me.
(01:14):
I'm sorry.
Sometimes that takes a lotlonger than I'd like to.
Good morning, my love.
Hopefully I'll get better andit's a long time.
Welcome to your daily battle,the Bible study, where we fight
three battles.
One we fight to get a.
Why do I use the word fight?
(01:34):
Because it's not easy.
Our default would be otherwise.
So we fight ourselves to behumble, right.
We fight our swollen heads.
We fight our entitlements andwhat we think.
We fight to have a humble andgrateful heart.
(01:55):
For many of us, our naturalstate is not humility, it's
entitlement.
We are never grateful, we'revery rarely grateful but
entitled.
So proper alignment, starting arelationship with God, the first
, first step, coming to himcorrectly, which is humble,
(02:19):
grateful.
You start on that footing whenyou go to God, you're starting
off correctly.
Two we fight again that wordfight because it takes time
investing.
You are fighting your fleshlydesires and your worldly desires
to make time to pursuerelationship with God Now.
(02:46):
The enemy and the world andyour flesh would rather do a
million things right now, okay.
But we fight ourselves in theworld enemy, to have a
relationship with our lord andsavior, okay.
We do that through the studyingof his holy text and through
(03:09):
prayer, and then we pray for oneanother, we invest in others,
we lock our shields of faith.
We as a community, as afellowship, point our faith in
our souls at heaven and weappeal and pray for one another.
(03:33):
So that's what we do hereMonday through Friday.
So let's go ahead and let'spray it in, get a humble and
great body aligned on the Lord,heavenly Father.
Lord, we thank you.
Thank you for all of ourblessings, known and unknown.
We thank you for theopportunity to once again wake
up and get it right.
(03:55):
Thank you for giving us anotherchance.
Thank you for protecting us andour families, our homes, during
the night.
Lord, we are blown away by yourlove for us, your design, lord.
(04:20):
We are so thankful for thetrillions of cells that we have
in our body that had to workperfectly just for us to wake up

We thank you.
Help us to be grateful, lord,and not entitled Lord.
So many of us are battlingissues in life Sorrows, disease,
(05:06):
debilitating body, bad finances, sin patterns.
Debilitating body, bad finances, sin patterns, aches and pains,

(05:30):
There's no feeling sorry foryourself.
Here we are all blessed.

(08:21):
text.
We pray all these things inJesus' name.
Amen.
All right, battle number onedone.
Hey, captain Caveman, good tosee you.
All right.
Battle number one done.
Hey, captain caveman, good tosee you.
Battle number one done.
(08:49):
Let's pull up the text now.
Uh, chapter 10, I think,through 15.
The bible changes.
Well, the author changes up hisstyle and way of displaying
things.
You're going to see a lot ofeither or, and there is
(09:16):
linguistic things to talk abouthere if you're into linguistic
things.
And what poetry and I apologize, I still get my eyes from my
CPAP blowing in my face,sometimes all my eyes into, like
a gel.
But, um, that's not what we'regoing to focus on.
We're going to focus onapplication and what it's really
saying.
Now I'm going to be honest withyou.
I grappled with a lot of this.
(09:36):
I had a little bit behind thismorning because I had to.
Good morning, steve Riley.
I had to use a lot of resourcesto make sense of some of the
archaic language here in LSB,even my.
(10:00):
I must be extra slow thismorning because even the message
when I went to it it wasn'talways apparent.
So let's go ahead and let'schew on this and see if we can,
in all the resources that I havehere pulled up on my screen,
(10:20):
come up with what exactly isbeing said here.
So again, we are in Proverbs 10.
We're in Proverbs 10.
We're in Proverbs 10.
Contrast of the righteous andthe wicked.
Now, some of these are going tobe, you know, the righteous
(10:44):
does this and the wicked doesthis, and then some of them are
going to actually be.
You'll see the word and andthey're talking about the same
group.
So don't you got to be carefulwhen we read this that we don't
just read it all the same.
Proverbs of Solomon.
Why son makes a father gladwhen a foolish son has grief to
(11:08):
his mother.
Treasures gained by wickednessdo not profit.
Righteousness delivers fromdeath.
So in verse 2, we're talkingabout ultimate faith here, so
that even, as we see often isthe case, the wicked are wealthy
, the wicked are powerful, thewicked are famous.
(11:29):
The wicked have all thesethings often.
Ultimately, in the end, they donot profit.
The righteous, who may havenone of those things, is
delivered from death witheternal life.
Yahweh will not allow the soulof a righteous to hunger,
(11:49):
meaning if your soul is hungryfor him.
He will feed you, but he willpush away the craving of the
wicked.
Now, if you just read that,you're thinking he's pushing
away the craving.
What he's pushing away is whatyou're craving in them, what the
wicked is craving.
So it's constantly out of theirreach.
They can't get enough enough.
(12:09):
Their sin will always leavethem hungry.
Poor is he who works with theslack end.
Okay, poor is the lazy person.
The bible does not lazy people,right?
(12:36):
God does not want you to belazy, he wants you to be active.
But the hand of the diligentmakes rich.
Again, talking about how heworks hard, honors God and will
be wealthy.
It may be wealthy in blessings.
It may be wealthy in the eyesof God and in the kingdom of
heaven, or it may mean realwealth.
(12:59):
He who gathers in summer is theson who acts insightfully.
So this is talking about thefarmer.
Farmers do so much work in thesummer, their busiest time,
whereas if you look at, say,kids or the school system,
summer is the time of relaxationand flat and slacking off right
(13:26):
, whereas the farmer know thatthat's their work season.
Okay, and before grocery stores, before everything else,
everyone was their own farmer.
Everyone grew majority of theirown food, raised it.
One had a milk cow.
You lost your milk cow, animaldevastating.
(14:01):
So again, verse 5, he whogathers in the summer is a son
who acts insightfully.
He who sleeps in harvest is ason who acts shamefully.
In verse 6, blessings are onthe head of the righteous, so
blessings will be put upon you.
(14:21):
The mouth of the wicked coversup violence.
That term covers there.
It covers up violence meaningthat it obscures, it covers that
it's going to do violence andconceals the violence it's done.
(14:43):
Seven the remembrance of therighteous is blessed, good
person, and you're remembered.
It's a blessed thing.
You're remembered because youwere a good person.
The name of the wicked will rot.
You're remembered either,infamously, the famous and the
(15:04):
most evil of the lot.
Sorry thanks for catching that,lauren.
I got to adjust this whole,this whole thing.
I appreciate you telling meit's cutting out.
I got to move my things around,so I'm not looking at it on my
screen over here and not that,and project accordingly, sorry,
(15:30):
um, and I gotta turn down my mygame and noise game.
So thank you, um, you, um.
So.
So again, in less infamous terms, let's talk about not hitler,
who will be remembered for howwicked he was, just bad people
(15:50):
around you, people who are of noconsequences.
No, they have no one aroundthem because they've been
nothing but vile.
They have a life of selfishnessand narcissism and their world
as they age, when they're youngand desirable, and all this.
(16:11):
They're all selfish and they'reall about absorbing everyone's
resources and experience andusing people.
The bill for that is an emptylife and to be forgotten, alone,
with no kids.
No, nothing, no one will everremember you.
The wise of heart will receivecommandments, but an ignorant
(16:37):
fool of loose lips will beruined, but an ignorant fool of
loose lips will be ruined.
So again, if you're wise, godis investing in you.
See you later, brandon, andyou'll receive God's
commandments.
But an ignorant fool of looselips will be ruined.
(17:04):
You walks in integrity.
Walk securely.
Okay, if you're telling thetruth and you're always doing
the right thing, that life maynot be easy to live, but it's
easy to remember because there'sno dishonesty.
There's only one truth whathappened?
But if you make your waycrooked, you will be found out.
(17:24):
How many lives do you have toremember?
Thinking up in verse 10.
Thinking up in verse 10, he whowinks the eye causes pain.
This is the winks the eye islike sly communication.
(17:49):
You know, um, you know theadulterous woman winking at the
man trying to seduce him.
Or um merchant trying to to winyou over with a wink and
letting you know when they'redoing something underhanded.
Or a man flirting with somebodyelse's wife or person and
(18:15):
winking.
And an ignorant fool of looselips will be ruined.
Somebody who gossips all thetime.
The mouth of the righteous is afountain of life.
Okay, verse 11.
A fountain of life meaning thatit's constantly building people
(18:38):
up and spreading life and light.
The mouth of the wicked coversup violence.
Hatred stirs up strife.
If you hate, you are alwayswalking around in conflict and
(19:01):
will always spread conflict.
And again I'm way off-centercuz I sorry guys, I'm gonna
change my setup here.
See if I can To not be sochaotic here.
Be way over here, away from it.
(19:22):
But love covers alltransgressions.
Okay, again, here we see andmentioned that love covers up
transgressions.
All right, even in the eyes ofGod, love covers up a multitude
of sins.
Love covers up a multitude ofsins.
(19:44):
So all of us knuckleheads whoare sinners, and all of us who
struggle with sin, which isevery human on the planet, by
loving and doing acts of serviceand kindness, dying to self,
you're covering your sins, whichis a great thing.
(20:05):
We all need that.
Verse 13, on the lips of the onewho has understanding, wisdom
is found.
That's easy to understand.
But a rod is for the back of hewho lacks a heart of wisdom.
Punishment is coming and a hardlife Discipline is coming to
(20:27):
those who do not have wisdom.
Verse 14, wise men store upknowledge and that's the most
valuable thing in the world.
The mouth of the ignorant fooldraws ruin.
Near thing in the world.
The mouth of the ignorantfool's draw ruin, draws ruin.
So again, people, a fooltalking invites ruin.
(20:49):
Verse 15 the rich man's wealthis a strong city.
The ruin of the poor is theirpoverty.
Okay, now I can think of areally good example.
Donald Trump, after the lastelection, was able to weather
the entire deep state comingafter him because he had wealth.
(21:10):
He could weather the punishmentof the court systems.
He could weather lawsuits andthe unjust prosecution.
He could fight back because hehad massive reserves.
Okay, he had massive reserves.
He can do that, whereassomebody who doesn't have poor
(21:32):
person has nothing.
Any little stumble is acatastrophe when you're poor.
Any little setback or trial isa catastrophe when you're poor.
Any little setback or trial isa catastrophe when you're poor.
Sixteen the wages of a righteouslife.
Sorry, the wages of righteouslife.
(21:56):
You're righteous.
The life, eternal life, is yourreward, your pay, the income of
the wicked is punishment, nomatter how rich they may seem,
no matter how extravagant theirlife, punishment is eternal.
Punishment is coming to thosewho are wicked.
(22:18):
Verse 17, he is on the path oflife who keeps discipline, but
he who forsakes reproof ordiscipline makes himself wander
about.
Okay, disciplined people arenot easily distracted.
(22:38):
They are able to endure pain orgain, whereas people who don't
have it will just take instantgratification or distraction and
choose to forget or put theirhead in the sand rather than
dealing with it, and because ofthat they wander about aimlessly
(23:04):
.
18, he who covers up hatred haslying lips and he who spreads a
bad report is a fool.
Okay, those are the same person.
They're just building upon it.
He who covers up hatred haslying lips and he who spreads a
(23:26):
bad report is a fool.
Again, we're talking aboutgossip.
I'm going to go here to he whoconceals hatred.
The Hebrew word used here iskasah.
It was used with the same senseIn other places.
It is used to forgive.
Here it is used with a moredeceptive sense of conceal.
(23:49):
The person here tries to hidehatred Okay, tries to hide his
hatred.
Right.
10, sorry.
20.
Tongue of the righteous is aschoice as silver.
(24:09):
Okay, meaning, if you'rerighteous and your speech is
righteous, valuable as valuablesilver.
The heart of the wicked isworth little, worth nothing.
It's rotten.
Lips of the wicked is worthlittle worth nothing, it's
rotten.
The lips of the righteous feedmany Okay, in verse 21,.
The lips of the righteous feedmany.
(24:30):
But the ignorant fools die forlack of the heart of wisdom.
Okay, if you are, the more wiseyou are, the people around you
Gain from you Because you arewise and you spread that wisdom
(24:52):
and it feeds many.
But ignorant fools Die for alack of a heart of wisdom.
22 it is the blessing of Yahwehthat makes rich.
He adds no pain with it.
Again, this is meaning yourblessings from God are what make
you rich, not your bank account.
(25:13):
With those blessings he adds nopain.
23, doing wickedness is likelaughing at a fool, meaning you
can laugh at a fool and they'lllaugh right along with you.
It doesn't matter, it's notprofitable.
And so is wisdom to a man ofdiscernment.
Wisdom to a man of discernmentis priceless, but the wicked
(25:41):
dreads will come upon him, butthe desire of righteous will be
grateful.
The wicked know they are wickedand they know their doom and
they fear their doom and it willconsume them.
(26:02):
But the righteous, the opposite.
There will be granted, which iseternal life with God.
The whirlwind passes, thewicked is no more, but the
(27:34):
righteous has an everlastingfoundation.
The whirlwind of life passes,and trials and everything wicked
is no more.
They're in hell.
The righteous is an everlastingfoundation of eternal life,
(27:56):
like vinegar to the teeth andlike smoke to the eyes.
So is is the sluggard those whosend him Vinegar to the teeth,
acidic, destructive Smoke to theeyes again.
Acidic to the eyes burns youreyes includes what you're doing.
That is what a lazy person isto those who he works for.
(28:20):
The fear of Yahweh prolongslife, but the years of the
wicked will be shortened Again.
Fearing God first and onlyleads to a long life.
The expectation of therighteous is gladness, but the
(28:48):
hope of the wicked will perish.
If you are righteous, you are atpeace.
You're not at internal war,right, peace.
You're not an internal war,right.
But if you are wicked, you areconstantly at war with yourself
(29:11):
and you will patent how you haveno hope.
The way of Yahweh is astronghold to the one with
integrity, but ruin to theworkers of iniquity.
If you are walking in the waysof Yahweh God, he's your
(29:34):
stronghold.
But when you look at iniquity,pull it up.
(30:00):
Let's see if I can do this now.
Iniquity, bible word study, sin.
I am struggling this morningwith my tools Evil, calamity,
(30:26):
sin, injustice, deception.
I am struggling this morningwith my tools Evil, calamity,
sin, injustice, deception, falseidolatrous.
Okay, that's what we're talkingabout when we hear iniquity.
It's not a word that wetypically use a lot today.
It's a very negative word,verse 30, and we're almost done
(30:50):
here.
The righteous will never beshaken, but the wicked will not
dwell in the land.
Okay, they're talking aboutIsrael, but you can apply this
(31:10):
pretty much everywhere.
The righteous will always be.
They might be shaken becausethey stand and God, no matter
what, think of you know, I thinkof Christians who persevered in
horrible circumstancesthroughout history.
Wicked be easily displaced.
(31:30):
Do not dwell on the land.
That's what I take that to mean.
The mouth of the righteousbears wisdom, but the tongue of
perversions will be cut off.
The lips of the righteous knowwhat is acceptable, but the
(31:51):
mouth of the wicked know what isperverse.
When you're righteous, you'respeaking righteous.
You know what is acceptable.
In the mouth of the wicked,they know they are profane and
perverse, all right.
So again, I know there was nota lot of I wouldn't say heavy
(32:12):
lifting and deep theologicalprofoundness in that, but it was
a battle with the words.
I mean, I had to read over andover and over and over.
So many things understandcontext and some of the
(32:33):
subtleness of what was beingexplained, but you can see
positive and negative in them.
But what is that Like?
What is the context of that?
That's why it's really helpfulto have a tool like Logos that I
use or to have.
I mean, there's a lot of freeresources.
I mean, at a minimum, having agood study bible I recommend the
(32:53):
english standard version andversion study bible, um and then
being able to go to something.
Sometimes it's like I said,though sometimes I gotta go.
I'll read a passage in my, mylsB or my ESB and I'll be like
in the right country, okay.
(33:14):
Like, think of a map, I'm inouter space and I'm in, I'm over
the right country.
Then sometimes I have to go tothe message to try to get it, to
make it make sense and put itin plain English, to get me in
the right city.
Okay.
So now I'm zooming out fromhere down to the right city.
(33:34):
Then I got to go to my studyBibles get on the right street,
get on the right street, okay.
And then sometimes I have to goto commentaries and multiple
(33:56):
sources to get it to finally theright address.
It's the best way I can explainthat.
It might have been a little bitdifferent than I said the other
day.
You get the gist.
So, anyways, thank you forjoining me today for this Bible
study and investing indeliberately pursuing a
relationship with God throughhis word.
(34:16):
Thank you for sharing your cupof coffee, your first cup of
coffee, by making God the firstpriority of your day.
I pray that it blesses you.
So let's go ahead and do ourfinal part, here and um, and
let's let me bless.
Bless us now, dear heavenlyfather lord, we thank you.
(34:38):
Thank you for the time.
We thank you for each man andwoman who's watching us, who
dropped everything in their lifeto pursue a relationship with
you.
Lord, we thank you for your word, thank you for the wisdom of
the Proverbs that we're studyingnow.
Lord, help us apply to thelessons today.
Help them take root in our souland our thoughts and our hearts
(35:01):
, and help us apply them toeverything we do.
Lord, draw us all closertogether as we are in this
community.
We're trying to build somethinghere for you, lord, that will
shake the gates of hell andfortify believers here and
(35:24):
around the world.
Lord, help us to walk out yourwisdom.
Help us to make it our initialaction, our reflex to do
righteousness instead of ourreflex to do iniquity and sin.
(35:49):
Lord, forgive us of our sins aswe repent of them.
Lord, I pray that you wouldbless us with strength,
(36:21):
discernment, peace, protection,lord, for the persecuted church,
our troops, overseas veteranslast year and our first
responders at home, thisfellowship, our beloved America.
I pray that she would turn fromher sin, hit her knees and
(36:47):
repent and seek your face, thatyou would see her and heal her
so that we could once again beone nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty andjustice for all.
Lastly, I call this fellowshipput on the full armor of God,
strap on the shield of faith,pick up the sword of the Spirit
and boldly step forward to jointhe shield wall, locking shields
(37:10):
to the left and right.
As we march forward, takeground for your kingdom, for
your glory forever.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen, all right, everyone.
God bless you.
I'll see you tomorrow.
