Proverbs 15:1-11

Listen to Proverbs 15:1-11
1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome[a] tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10 Correction[b] is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11 Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

Proverbs 15:1-11 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST KINGS 5

This chapter relates Solomon's preparation for building the temple: on Hiram, king of Tyre, sending a congratulatory letter to him, he returned another to him, signifying his intention to build an house for God, and requesting him to supply him with timber, and men to work it, 1Ki 5:1-6; to which Hiram readily agreed, and sent him cedar and fir, and Solomon in return sent him food for his household; and things went on very amicably between them, 1Ki 5:7-12; the chapter concludes with an account of Solomon's workmen, where, how, and in what they were employed, 1Ki 5:13-18.

Hell Is For Real, C
Hell Is For Real, C
Jeff Johnson

Most of us don’t want to think about hell, because its terrible. In fact many are fearful of this place. But there are those who think it doesn’t even really exists at all. That’s a fatal error. This is sound doctrine with Pastor Jeff Johnson. Today pastor Jeff concludes a message from Proverbs chapter 15. He is teaching us that Jesus taught on hell as a literal place. Therefore we should believe in it. As Christians we shouldn’t fear it, but we should warn others about it. This is the conclusion of the message, “Hell is for Real” 

Hell Is For Real
Hell Is For Real
Jeff Johnson

Solomons son was foolish. Not because he wasn’t given instruction from his father, but because he chose to use his own wisdom instead listening to the council from the older men and his fathers council. This is sound doctrine with pastor Jeff Johnson. Today pastor Jeff continues teaching through a message about the tongue and hell. We will learn that the foolish go their own way, but the wise seek the council from the Lord. This is the message, “Hell is Real”
