Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley.  Today we will be going over Proverb 20.  I will then key in on verse 7, and the importance of having integrity in your life.  In my view, integrity means that you are the same (and do the same things) whether your boss is watching you or whether you are all alone in your room.  In other words, you are real - and not putting on a show f...

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley.  Today we will go over Proverb 15.  I will key in on verse 3.  God is with us all of the time and watches everything we do.  If we are secure in Christ and obeying the commandments of the Bible that should be comforting to us.  If you are not living as you should, this is something to ponder when you are thinking about doing someth...

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley.  Today we will be going over Proverb 14.  I will then key in on verse 2.  There is a  very real distinction between the first part of this verse and the second part of this verse.  The first talks about people who fear the Lord and make decisions based on that fact.  The second part of the verse is for people who live their li...

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley.  Today we will be going over Proverb 6.  I will then key in on verses 16-19.  These verses explain the seven things that the Lord hates.  May I suggest that if the Lord hates these things we should hate them as well.  I bring out the point that we should look at these seven things in reverse order - that is the order in which God h...
