Don’t Discredit Your Integrity
February 8, 2008 @ 10:49 am by Pressed
The wisdom literature in the first part of Proverbs is wisdom of a father passed down to his son to teach him how to live. In my reading this morning I read Proverbs 1:8-9. The main point of the passage is to not follow sinners or the path of sinners because their path is one of greed and destruction. Basically, don’t fall into the temptation of following the crowd. Don’t let others provoke you into doing things that do not honor God. Instead of following the crowd we need to be examples to the crowd showing them a better way to live. To join others in their folly is essentially our approval of their actions. It also discredits our integrity. How often do we discredit our integrity by following the ways of the world rather than the ways of God?
Don’t be greedy for unjust gain. This could refer to several things. Whether it is physical gain or seeking the approval of others it is seeking selfish gain and considered an ungodly way to live.

Then of course it’s heresy!
You have blasphemed the iPhone and since God uses a Mac, you have thereby blasphemed God.
you should try typing that whole thing with one finger one letter at a time. That is sacrifice and commitment not blasphemy.
I read and commented from the iPhone. Iove my iPhone. I don’t think I could post that big of a post from my iPhone. I might try it on a misson trip.
I think my sermon to my church this Sunday shall be about the evils eating of the apple.
But I cannot figure out how to make this verce fit:
Acts 16:9
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Mac****** was standing there, urging him and saying, “Come over to Mac****** and help us.”
Clearly Paul had been smoking some camel dung.
speaking of heresy…
Fear not the iPhone! Instead, rejoice! It is nice to have the world’s collective knowledge at ones finger tip. That is if you have a signal. Sorry this isn’t about wisdom literature.
