Word on the Street

This weekend we begin a new message series based on the book of Proverbs in the Bible. Proverbs is considered Wisdom Literature in scripture. This creates within me the question: "What is wisdom? And how do we acquire it?"

The philosopher Socrates once said: "Wisdom begins in wonder."

Hundreds of years later Ralph Waldo Emerson conjectured: "The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common."
 
Proverbs 9:10 declares that, "the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."

I've come to believe that we cannot experience true spiritual health without wisdom. Maybe it is time for a check-up. That is what we will be about the next 4 weekends at Grace Avenue; "The Divine Check-Up." Plan to join us as we take and intriguing look at the book of Proverbs.

Are you ready to get healthy?
