Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley

Bill Kelley

This is Bill Kelley. Please join me as we hear the word's of Solomon - who many people consider the wisest man who ever lived. We will go over the proverb of the day every day and I will pick a verse (or several) and expound on them. I am believing that, by hearing the wisdom of Solomon, we will become wiser and our lives will begin to improve - as we follow what the word tells us to do.

    304. Matthew's gospel - Chapter #8 June 1, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 1. I will then key in on verse 10 - My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent. Friends, prior to being saved this might have applied to me. I might have been enticed by sinners. However, since I received Jesus into my heart in 1995, I am no longer enticed by these things. Once we take the step of making the decision to receive Jesus, you may not change overnight - it tends to be a gradual process, but we are no longer allowed to be enticed by sinners. 1 Corinthians 6: verse 20 tells us that we have been bought at a price. We are no longer our own. We are not simply to make Jesus our Savior, but we are to make Him our Lord. With that in mind, we no longer have the choice but to obey the word of God. Today we will continue our study on Matthew's gospel. Today we will take a look at Chapter #8. I will read the first three verses. The first verse is when Jesus has just finished preaching to thousands of people on a hill. Verses 2 & 3 tell of a leper who goes to Jesus and asks to be healed. Jesus says that He is willing and immediately restores the man to complete health. I read verses 5-10. This is a well-known passage of scripture where a Roman centurion asks Jesus to heal his servant, who is at home and paralyzed. Jesus tells the man that He will come with him and heal his servant. But the man objects and tells Him to say the word only, and that he will be healed. Jesus tells the man to go home, and he is restored. I go over the Cost of discipleship and discuss our need to disciple people, and not only lead them in a sinner's prayer. Call to action: I want you to put yourself into that boat (when the waves are getting larger and larger, the lightning is flashing, the thunder is roaring and Jesus is fast asleep in the bought and ask yourself what would you have done? Suggested scripture reading: Reread the proverb of the day, Proverb 1 in its entirety; 2. Reread in its entirety Chapter #8 of Matthew's gospel

    366. He is Faithful and Just (to Forgive us Our Sins) - August 28, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 28. I will then key in on verse 13 - He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. Friends, from time to time we all will sin. It is best to not try to cover them, but to openly confess them. Today I will go over the topic of sin. I will go over three verses which I hope to present in a package, and, together with today's verse, I believe may help any confusion anyone may have on sin. The first in found in Paul's letter to the Romans - Chapter 3, verse 23. This verse tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Even if we have received Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we still will make mistakes from time to time. Do not beat yourself up. It's OK. Next, we go to James, Chapter 2, verse 10. I will read this verse, but, it is best if we go back and read the entire passage from verses 8 through verse 13. When reading this passage of scripture, we are told that we are not to show partiality (do not pick favorites). We can still be police, kind, loving, merciful to people who we choose not to associate with. Next, we go to 1 John, Chapter 1 and read verse 9. Once again, if we put this in the proper context and read verse 8 -10, it will make a bit more sense. I will close by going back and reviewing verse 13 of Proverb 28. Hopefully, I have clarified this topic of sin. The bottom line - Jesus has forgiven us of all of our since, but we may need to ask our spouses, our friends, our co-workers, etc. when we commit sins against them.
