Shew Thyself a Man
Apr 22
“Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;” I Kings 2:1-2 The words of a Christian man spoken in his last days on this earth can be some of the most powerful counsel given. Such was the case of King David. Shortly before his falling asleep in the Lord, David summoned his son, Solomon, to his bedside. What he shared with his dear son back then, speaks to the hearts of every Christian man today. David commanded Solomon to “Shew thyself a man.” (I Kings 2:2)

Proverbs and the Problem of Counsel
Jan 31
"Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors." Psalm 119:24 There are times when counsel is needed. Who gives us counsel is of utmost importance, including our need to discern the source of that counsel. How counsel is given is another critical aspect.
