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.

    325. Bill & Judy monthly update - #3 June 30, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill & Judy Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 30. Judy and I will then share our verse from this proverb that spoke to us. We will then introduce two of our granddaughters - one of which was with us last month when we were still in Colorado. She will share about her joy that we are back in Florida. The other will share her thoughts on us being back in Florida and being able to see us on a regular basis. They both then talk about their delight that this coming week we will be going on a trip to Kentucky to visit the re-enactment of the ark and the Creation Museum. We will be able to spend three nights with a first year Charis Bible College student that we befriended this past year. We are really looking forward to seeing us. She has agreed to come on this podcast and she will share her testimony - so I am looking forward to that as well. Judy then shares how pleased she is to be able to spend so much time with the grandkids and really being able to have an impact in their lives and becoming involved in the local politics of the area. I will then go into my YouTube Channel and give a few details about that. To access the channel, simply go on YouTube and enter: Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. There are four playlists that you can access material to listen to. I encourage you all to go on and subscribe and check it out.

    324. Matthew's Gospel - Chapter 20 June 29, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 29. I will then key in on verse 7 - The righteous considers the cause of the poor, But the wicked does not understand such knowledge. Friends, as Christians, we are to be mindful of the poor. We are to consider their circumstances and to help out when they ask for it as long as it is within our means to do so. Conversely, many people are not mindful of the poor. Regardless of the need, they are more interested in their own lives and the things they have need of. Jesus is a good example that we can follow. Today, we will continue our study of Matthew's gospel. The first portion of Chapter #20 will be a topic of my current series on parables found in Matthew's gospel on my Friday's episodes. I will read verses 20-28 of Chapter 20. These verses develop the story where the mother of the sons of Zebedee ask Jesus that her two sons be placed at the right hand and the left hand of Jesus when He goes into His kingdom. Jesus lets them know that they are not thinking about the cost of what they are asking. He prophesies that they will indeed suffer for the name of Jesus sometime in the future. The disciples are very upset that they had the audacity to ask for this favor. Jesus sets the example for all the disciples that they are to be servants of men, and should not be thinking about who will be greatest. As followers of Jesus, we are supposed to have the same mindset. Finally, we close with two blind me asking for their sight back. Jesus gives it to them. This shows that Jesus still intends that people be healed today (Hebrews 13:8 - Jesus Christ the same yesterday and forever). Call to action: imagine what it must have been like to be blind and have your sight restored; to be deaf and have your hearing restored; to be overcome by an evil spirit, and then to be restored to your right mind. Suggested scripture reading: 1. Reread the proverb of the day, Proverb 29 in its entirety; 2. Reread in its entirety the 20th chapter of Matthew.

    323. Matthew's Gospel - Chapter 19 - June 28, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 28. I will then key in on verse 1 - The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion. When considering this verse, I ask myself - Why would the wicked flee, if no one is pursuing them? I can think of two things. First of all, they have a guilty conscience about something they've done. Whether they've harmed someone, or maybe stolen something, they may be asking themselves if someone is going to find out what they've done? Their guilt begins to consume them. So they get antsy and feel they have to move to a different location. The lesson to be learned is that if you only do right things, then you will not feel guilty and won't feel threatened or fearful that you will be "found out". On today's podcast we will continue our study on Matthew's Gospel. Today we will be looking at several passages of scripture, beginning with Jesus's thoughts on marriage and divorce. I will read the first 10 verses and go over the fact that God was the originator of the marriage contract. His original intent (and, I believe, His intent today) is that a man and a woman meet, come together, fall in love, and enter into a marriage relationship. He never intended for divorce to happen (nor do I believe He would want divorce to happen today). I will then go over verses 13-15. In these verses Jesus implies that we are to come to God as little children. That is how He see us. He is the all-powerful God. He is greater than we are and we are to come to Him with our needs and with our prayers. Only He has the answers for us. I will close with the tale of the Rich Young Ruler. In verses 16-22 Jesus goes over the fact that we cannot serve both God and money. We are to first love God, and then love people. People are much more important that any material possession we have. If we see that people around us have a need, we are to assist them if we possibly can. Call to Action - think about when you first met and fell in love with your spouse. Purpose in your heart to honor and cherish the union that you have entered into with your spouse and commit to seeing the relationship through until either you or your spouse breaths your last. Suggested scripture reading: 1. Reread the proverb of the day, Proverb 28, in its entirety; 2. Reread in its entirety the 19th chapter of Matthew's gospel.
