“It is time that we all began to live for eternity- not time, and for Christ – not ourselves. We must realize that our public effectiveness is largely based on our private relationship with God.”
-Erwin W. Lutzer, When a Nation Forgets God
I realize the news media is flooding the air waves and our minds with the assassination attempt. It is a big deal and I don’t want to ignore it as though it doesn’t matter. I think it also takes time to process how close the bullet came to Donals Trump’s head and how close he came to being murdered and how that would have changed the political and cultural landscape. Turning at the last milli-second saved his life. Even Trump said; “it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.”
The Constitution specifically sets aside Sunday from any governmental work; Christianity is the only major
religion in the world with a Sunday Sabbath.

Continuing with the topic of wisdom as portrayed in the book of Proverbs, we need to understand that true wisdom is God’s gift to us. Wisdom resides with God and He freely shares it as we seek Him and follow Him. It does not come from man’s intellect. As Paul says in 1 Corinthians 3:18-19a, 20b Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God… “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile. What wisdom we have comes from above.
