14 The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.2 

Whoever fears the Lord walks uprightly,  but those who despise him are devious in their ways.Slide8

3 A fool’s mouth lashes out with pride, but the lips of the wise protect them.

4 Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but from the strength of an ox come abundant harvests.Slide9

5 An honest witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies.

6 The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.Slide10

7 Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips.

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.Slide11

9 Fools mock at making amends for sin, but goodwill is found among the upright.

10 Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.Slide12

11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.

12 There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.Slide13

13 Even in laughter the heart may ache, and rejoicing may end in grief.

14 The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways, and the good rewarded for theirs.Slide14

15 The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.

16 The wise fear the Lord and shun evil, but a fool is hot-headed and yet feels secure.Slide15

17 A quick-tempered person does foolish things, and the one who devises evil schemes is hated.

18 The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.Slide16

19 Evildoers will bow down in the presence of the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

20 The poor are shunned even by their neighbours, but the rich have many friends.Slide17

21 It is a sin to despise one’s neighbour, but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy.

22 Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness.Slide18

23 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

24 The wealth of the wise is their crown, but the folly of fools yields folly.Slide19

25 A truthful witness saves lives, but a false witness is deceitful.

26 Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.Slide20

27 The fear of the

Lord is a fountain of life, turning a person from the snares of death.28 A large population is a king’s glory, but without subjects a prince is ruined.Slide21

29 Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.

30 A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.Slide22

31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honours God.

32 When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down, but even in death the righteous seek refuge in God.Slide23

33 Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning and even among fools she lets herself be known.

34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.35 A king delights in a wise servant, but a shameful servant arouses his fury.Slide24

“I tell you what when I see chocolate chip

cookies I can’t just eat one. I’ve got to eat a dozen. I don’t have any self control. Well, come on! You’re just talking yourself right

into the pit! You do have self control, and You need to start looking at those cookies and Saying, “If I want you I’ll eat you, and if I don’t I won’t!” Come on! Talk to that plateful of food! Slide31

I am born

again and baptized in the Holy Spirit! I have the power of the universe on the inside of me, and if I do not want to eat you I will not eat you! I mean how do you expect to defeat the devil if you can’t even

defeat a chocolate chip cookie!?!?” Joyce MeyerSlide32

James 119 

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.Slide37

“You can control yourself if you really want to. I'll tell you how I know you can control yourself. If you were in a full fledged emotional temper tantrum in your house and I knocked on your front door..... Come on! Let me tell you what, you would get control of yourself, and it would only take a few seconds.”

Joyce MeyerSlide38
