    240. He has delivered us from the Power of Darkness - March 3, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley.  Today we will be going over Proverb 3.  I will then key in on verse 29 - Do not devise evil against your neighbor, For he dwells by you for safety's sake.  Friends, one of the first things we do when we move into a new neighborhood, or if someone moves into a neighborhood next to you is that you reach out to them and greet them!  We should have good relations with our neighbors so that when we have a need we can call on them.  Today I will go over a portion of the 1st chapter of Colossians.  Paul wrote this while he was in a prison in Rome.  And yet, he encourages them to be strong in the Lord.  I will go over four things that I would like for you to consider:  1.  God wants you to have wisdom (I will read verses 9 & 10); God tells us in these two verses that if we read His word that we will have knowledge and that we will have wisdom; 2.  He wants us to be strengthened with all might (I will read verses 11 & 12) - because of the Holy Spirit (which was given to us when we received Jesus as our Lord) - we now have the same spirit in us that Jesus had in Him; 3.  He has delivered us from the power of darkness and into His Light (I will read verses 13 & 14) - we all used to walk in darkness, but now we are walking in the light!  We now don't have to be embarrassed by what we do.  We do our best to do the right thing whenever we can; 4.  Jesus is the image of the invisible God (I will read verses 15-18);  this puts aside all doubt about how the Earth was created.  If anyone wants to know what God is like, simply look at Jesus!  CALL to ACTION - Consider your life carefully and be thankful for all the things God has given to you.  We are all so blessed!  Suggested scripture reading - Please read the entire book of Colossians (four short chapters).

    239. Walking in Humility (OT-#7) - Ruth - March 2, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley.  Today, we will be going over Proverb 2.  I will then key in on verse 6 - For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.  Friends, to really acquire wisdom, you must have the Fear of the Lord.  That is the beginning of knowledge (Proverb 1:7); which, as you apply that knowledge will lead to understanding; will will eventually lead to wisdom.  Today we will continue our study on the topic of humility.  Today we will look at a woman named Ruth.  Ruth had married a man from a family that had come from the land of Judah.  She had been with him ten years, when he died.  She had fallen in love with her mother-in-law Naomi.  Naomi had now lost her husband and both of her sons, and was in a foreign land.  She wished to move back to her homeland of Judah.  She loved her daughters-in-law, but suggested that they go back to their real parents.  One chose that path, but Ruth "clung" to Naomi.  I will read Ruth, Chapter 1, verses 16-17.  Ruth humbled herself before Naomi.  Then, she humbles herself before Boaz, a friend of Naomi's former husband.  I will read Chapter 2: verses 10-13.  She ends up marrying this man, Boaz, and had a child with him.  She became the great, great, Grandmother of King David of Israel.  CALL to ACTION - Continue to look for opportunities to pay people compliment who look like they could use one, and help out anyone you see that could use a hand.  Suggested scripture reading:  If you can find time, read this short book of the Bible titled Ruth.  It is short (only four chapters) and is a study in humility.

    238. Walking in Humility (OT-#6)- Rehab - March 1, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley.  Today we will be going over Proverb 1.  I will then key in on verse 7 - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.  I will then read the commentary of my Bible and share what it has on this verse.  Friends, all wisdom begins with having a reverence for God and who He is.  For anyone that shuns God, or dismisses Him as being real basically forfeits the right to have wisdom.  We must come to the place where we acknowledge Him for who He is if we are to live the life that He would have us live.  Today, I will continue our study on humility.  I will introduce you to woman named Rahab, a harlot who lived in the town of Jericho.  I will read the entire 2nd chapter of the Book of Joshua.  Joshua sent two spies to spy out the land.  They immediately went to where you could receive answers to your questions - the house of the prostitute.  When they came to her door she asked them for favor and asked that when the Israelites would ultimately prevail over their town, that she and her immediate family would be saved.  When the king of Jericho heard about these spies, he sent for them.  But, Rahab lied that they had already gone, risking her life in the prostitute.  Because of what she did, she is now one of the heroines of the Bible.  She is the great, great, great grandmother of King David of Israel and is listed as one of the women of great faith in the Book of Hebrews (Chapter #11).  CALL to ACTION - Pay a compliment to someone who looks like they could use it and help anyone who looks like they have a need and could use some help.  Suggested scripture reading:  Please reread Chapter #2 of Joshua and read Chapter #3 as well.

    477. Justin Arenas shares his personal testimony. January 30, 2024

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley.  Today we will be going over Proverb 30.  I will then introduce you to my special guest for the day, Justin Arenas.  Justin is a third year Charis Bible College student.  Justin shares how he was molested as a small child by a family member and how he grew into that homosexual lifestyle.  He shares how he became addicted to drugs and alcohol and how, even though he knew God was real, couldn't seem to break out of the bondage that he was stuck in.  He shares how he came to a point in his life that he realized he wanted to break the cycle of the life he was living.  He accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior, and his life began to turn around.  He helped build a church and has a couple healing testimonies that he was a part of.  He was told by an aunt that he should come to Charis Bible College student and answered the call.  He shares his experiences at Charis and how he now has future plans that involve planting churches.

    476. Job, Chapter #38 (Part 1) - God Challenges Job to Teach Him - January 29, 2024

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 29. I will then key in on verses 15 & 17 - The rod and rebuke give wisdom, But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother. Correct your son, and he will give you rest; Yes, he will give delight to your soul. Friends, we need to instruct our children in the way they should go (Proverb 22:6). On today's podcast we will continue our study on the Book of Job. Today we will begin Chapter #38. In this Chapter God begins His discourse with Job. He challenges Job. It must have been a pretty uncomfortable situation for him! By the end of this podcast I ask that you consider three things: 1. God challenges Job to teach Him. 2. God reminds Job that He was the creator of all. 3. God remind Job that is in control of the elements of the world. Call to Action - Ask yourself this question - Do you ever challenge God? Do you try to tell Him the way things are - sensing that you are right? Suggested Scripture reading - Reread the proverb of the day, Proverb 29 in its entirety; reread the chapter of the day, Job, Chapter #38 in its entirety.

Judy will then share what the Lord has been speaking to her, we will discuss the brief trip Judy and I took to North Carolina with two of our granddaughters, beginning our Charis Bible Study and what the Lord has been talking with me about.

    474. Job-Chapter #37 God Still Speaks to us Today - January 25, 2024

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 25. I will then key in on verse 23 - The north wind brings forth rain, And a backbiting tongue an angry countenance. On today's podcast we will continue our study on the Book of Job. Today we will be taking a close look at Chapter #37. This is the last chapter in which Elihu is the narrator. Upon completion of this podcast there are three points that I would like for you to consider: 1. God is still speaking to us today (1 Kings 19:11-13) 2. God controls the elements of this world (Psalm 65:7) 3. We cannot look directly at the sun (Exodus 34:29-33) Going back to our verse of the day, I looked up the word backbiting. It means malicious talk about someone who is not present. Friends, this would be gossip. Nothing good comes from gossip and we should avoid it if at all possible. Call to Action - Ask yourself this question - Do I hear from God (or the Holy Spirit?). God can speak to us through His Word (the Holy Bible), through our spouse, our children, our parents, our grandchildren, our grandparents, our bosses, or through everyday circumstances in our lives. We need to be open to the fact that He desires to speak to His children. Suggested Scripture reading: Reread the proverb of the day, Proverb 25 in its entirety; Please reread our chapter of the day, Job, Chapter #37 in its entirety
