He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he. (Proverbs 16:20) *1/ Handling the matter of our own souls salvation wisely. 2/ Handling the matter of a sinful heart wisely. 3/ Scriptural principles for handling matters wisely. 4/ Some further examples from scripture of handling matters wisely.* There was not time to look at the further examples. They are: *- Abraham maintaining peace with Lot - Genesis 13:8-9* *- Abigail pacifying David's anger - 1 Samuel 25:18-35* *- David encouraging himself in the Lord his God. 1 Samuel 30:6* *- Mordecai advising Queen Esther - Esther 4:13-14* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon explores the biblical imperative to handle life's critical matters with divine wisdom, drawing primarily from Proverbs 16:20. It contrasts King Rehoboam's foolish rejection of wise counsel with Daniel's prudent reliance on God in the face of death. *(1 Kings 12:1-16 and Daniel 2:1-30)* The preacher emphasizes that believers must prioritize their own soul's salvation and the ongoing battle against a sinful heart by seeking God's guidance through prayer and Scripture. By examining these scriptural examples, the message urges listeners to trust in God's sovereignty and seek heavenly wisdom rather than relying on human understanding or hasty decisions. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a faithful, prayerful approach to daily challenges, promising blessing to those who align their actions with God's word.

Share a commentHave you ever wondered what wisdom really looks like in the middle of ordinary life? Not the wisdom of clever answers or shrewd strategies, but the kind that shapes how you respond to praise, criticism, promotion, and setbacks. What does godly wisdom actually look like in flesh and blood?In this episode, Stephen Davey opens 1 Samuel 18 and continues his series on the life of David. Fresh from defeating Goliath, David is suddenly a national hero. Songs are sung in his honor. Jonathan gives him his own robe and sword. Everyone loves him. But behind the celebration, King Saul begins to boil with envy. Stephen walks you through this chapter and shows how David quietly displays three defining marks of wisdom while Saul digresses into hostility and hatred.First, walking wisely means responding to promotion with humility. David rises to command, yet he never boasts, never gloats, and never rubs his success in anyone's face. Second, walking wisely means tolerating the weaknesses of others with grace. When Saul hurls spears at him, David does not pick them up and throw them back. He offers the benefit of the doubt and refuses to join the downward spiral of hurt, hate, hostility, and harm. Third, walking wisely means surrendering to the providence of God without complaint. David is demoted, denied a promised bride, and then handed a deadly dowry, yet he keeps trusting the Lord and refuses to defend his own honor.This message will reshape how you handle both the applause and the arrows in your own life. You do not have to answer every insult. You do not have to defend every slight. You do not have to grasp for what God has not yet given. Walk humbly. Extend grace.

What is biblical wisdom, and how should it shape the Christian life? In this concluding episode through Proverbs, Dave Jenkins considers the major themes we have encountered throughout the book. Wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord and means living rightly before God according to His Word. Proverbs repeatedly presents two paths: wisdom leading toward life and folly leading toward destruction. It teaches that wisdom touches our words, relationships, work, decisions, desires, and character. It also directs us inward to the heart while reminding us that the sovereign Lord directs our steps. Living wisely means fearing the Lord, remaining in His Word, guarding our hearts, watching our words, walking humbly, receiving correction, and choosing wisdom day after day. Yet Proverbs ultimately points beyond ourselves to Jesus Christ. We have not lived wisely or obeyed God perfectly, but Christ has. Jesus is not merely an example of wisdom. He is the wisdom of God. Through His death and resurrection, sinners are forgiven, transformed, and enabled to walk according to God's ways. Proverbs 9:10: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight."

Send us Fan MailHistory is the human story, a way of seeing the world and our place in it.In this episode of The Brighter Side of Education, Dr. Lisa Hassler welcomes back historian and Associate Professor Dr. Christopher Berg for a thoughtful conversation about the purpose of history education, how it has changed over time, and why it remains essential in today's classrooms.Drawing from his work in Why Study History?, History and the Public Good, and “My Friend! You and I Have Passed Our Lives in Serious Times,” Dr. Berg explores student perceptions of the importance of learning history, including how students view textbook credibility and the relevance of history in their own lives.Together, Lisa and Chris discuss why people turn to history during serious times, how historical thinking helps students evaluate evidence and multiple perspectives, and why these habits of mind are especially important in an age shaped by social media and AI.Dr. Berg also shares powerful examples from his own life and teaching, including the teacher who changed his view of history, the student whose Navy experience helped her see women's contributions in history differently, and classroom strategies that help students question textbook narratives, compare sources, and develop healthy skepticism.This episode invites educators to help students see history not just as a timeline of events, but as a way to develop judgment, perspective, intellectual humility, and wisdom for living thoughtfully in the world.Check out Dr. Berg's book, The Palgrave Handbook of History and Social Studies Education.

John the Baptist's instruction to the crowds who came seeking baptism was practical and direct: if you have two shirts, share with the one who has none. If you have food, do the same. True repentance, he made clear, is not merely a change of heart. It produces a change in action. This principle runs throughout Scripture, from the Old Testament commands not to harvest a field a second time so the poor could glean, to the early church where believers regularly shared their resources with those in need as a natural overflow of the Holy Spirit's work in their lives. For those who follow Christ today, the same call remains: act justly, love mercy, walk humbly. Care for the poor and the hungry as if we were directly caring for our Savior Himself. Whatever we have been given, whether much or little, we are stewards of it — and wise stewardship means holding it with open hands, grateful for what we have and quick to share from any surplus with those who have not. Today's Bible Verse "Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same."— Luke 3:11, NIV Ponder Today True repentance produces transformation in action, not just in attitude. John the Baptist's call to the crowds was not merely to feel differently about their lives — it was to live differently, beginning with how they shared what they had with those in need. Wise stewardship is a natural overflow of our relationship with the Lord. As the Holy Spirit produces love, kindness, and compassion in us, caring for others with our resources stops being an obligation and becomes a genuine expression of faith. Whatever we do for the poor and hungry, we do for Christ Himself. Matthew 25:34-40 makes this staggering connection unmistakably clear. Stewardship is not just a financial principle — it is an act of worship directed toward our Savior. We live in a culture that promotes gaining more and wasting freely. Reorienting our priorities around what God cares about — justice, mercy, compassion, and love — requires intentional effort and the Spirit's ongoing work in our hearts. Contentment and generosity grow together. When we are genuinely grateful for what we have and hold it with open hands, we become more attentive to the needs around us and more willing to give from whatever surplus we carry. A Prayer for You Today Lord, forgive me for the times I have wasted my resources. I live in a society that values gaining more, often more than I need, while promoting wastefulness at the same time. As I lean into my relationship with You, help me reorient my priorities around what You care about: justice, mercy, compassion, love, and kindness. Produce in me by Your Holy Spirit the actions that flow from genuine faith. Let me live with contentment, thankful for the necessities You provide, and with open hands and an open heart that is quick to think of others. Guide me to give from any area of surplus to bless those in need. And in every circumstance, may I care for others as if I were directly serving You, my Savior. In Your name, Jesus, I pray. Amen.

The gospel wasn't just spread. It was intentionally sent...In this next part of our journey through Acts, we see how the early believers move beyond their borders to carry the message of Jesus to the ends of the earth. From the shores of Antioch to the heart of Rome, they step into the unknown, navigating cultural barriers, trials, and shipwrecks along the way. What looks like a dangerous journey is actually God's direction. As the Church is sent, the gospel transforms the world, and that same mission is handed to us today.

Life is a portfolio, whether we realize it or not. Every day, we invest our time, energy, attention, and resources into different areas of our lives, hoping they will yield fulfillment, growth, and meaning. But just as investors periodically review their financial portfolios, we must occasionally step back and ask whether our life investments are serving us well. Are we investing in the things that truly matter, or simply reacting to the demands and expectations around us? In this episode, we'll explore the different forms of wealth that contribute to a rich and meaningful life, why resilience often matters more than optimization, and how to become more intentional with the resources we have. Because the quality of our lives is ultimately shaped by where we choose to invest them. **If you're feeling stuck or unclear around this, the Alignment Journal can help you work through it step by step.

Years ago, I tried something in my own practice that seemed like an obvious win: a 24-hour call center to make sure every call got answered. It made sense on paper. It failed in practice, and not for the reasons you'd expect. In this episode, I tell the full story of why the call center didn't work, what it taught me about the relational nature of chiropractic, and how that exact same lesson applies to the AI tools showing up in chiropractic offices today. I walk through a real conversation I had with a client who was being pitched a dynamic phone number system, essentially the modern, automated version of the same mistake I made years ago. From there, I lay out a simple principle for evaluating any technology in your practice: if it's only benefiting you and not your patients, it's worth reconsidering. I break that principle into two practical questions, transparency and frequency, and use some uncomfortable personal examples, including my own dentist, to show what happens when a practice gets either one wrong. This episode is not anti-technology. I use AI constantly in my own work. It's about making sure the tools you adopt strengthen the doctor-patient relationship instead of quietly eroding it. Topics Covered - The full call center story: why it seemed smart, why it failed, and what I'd do differently - Why chiropractic's high-touch, relational nature makes it different from most other businesses adopting automation - The dynamic phone number example and why "the technology exists" isn't the same as "you should use it" - The core principle: if the technology only benefits you, reconsider it or change it - Transparency: why patients should always know when they're interacting with technology, not a person - Frequency: how to tell the difference between helpful outreach and harassment - A real example of a raving fan turning into a lost patient because of over-automated follow-up - Why marketing advice built for mass audiences (Gary Vee, Dan Kennedy style "mail until they buy or die") does not translate to a practice with a few hundred patients - How to evaluate your own practice's current automation honestly If you want a free look at your website and local search, request a review at RocketChiro.com.
