In our afternoon Bible Study we are studying the Book of Proverbs using the workbook compiled by Robert Harkrider entitled “Proverbs: The Wisdom of Modern Man.”

Bible Study begins at 12 and we will pick up our study with Chapter 4.
Example of study first read vs 1 of chapter 4
Harkrider writes concerning verse 1 in part: “This text more than anything brings out the urgency of parental care.”

No invitation needed to attend this study, all you need is a desire to learn!! All denominations are welcome to study with us.

Christians have been worshipping together at Drapers Cross Roads church of Christ for over 100 years! This year our leaders decided to have a gospel meeting; the first in many years!

We would like to thank our speakers who were willing to come share the truth in Gods Word with us and the support we got from neighboring congregations in attendance! This tiny congregation was very uplifted!!

Shared by Mary:
THE USE OF FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE.
There are occasions in scripture when spiritual concepts are conveyed in physical or material terms. A failure to recognize this teaching mode can result in the misinterpretation of important biblical texts.
When Isaiah declared that “healing” would result from the benefits of Jesus’ death, he was not speaking of physical healing, but a healing (forgiveness) from sin, as the immediate context reveals (Is. 53:5-6 — note “transgressions,” “iniquities”), and as was confirmed by Peter (see 1 Pet. 2:24-25).
The prophet Joel spoke of “those days” when Jehovah would pour out his Spirit, and supernatural phenomena would result (Joel 2:28-30). In Acts 2, Peter informed his Hebrew auditors that the events of that day (the apostles being overwhelmed by the Spirit’s power — Acts 2:4; 1:5) were a fulfillment of Joel’s oracle (Acts 2:16).
This was the commencement of the Christian age.
In connection with this wonderful era, Joel announced that “the mountains shall drop down sweet wine and the hills shall flow with milk,” etc. (Joel 3:18ff). The prosperity here described is not an agricultural boon. Rather, the material is used to depict the spiritual.
Those who attempt to literalize all the prosperity passages should take note of this idiom.
A survey of the terms “rich” and “riches,” as used in the New Testament, will demonstrate that these words are employed far more frequently of spiritual prosperity than they are of material wealth. - Barrack Ongaro
