The River

In a dream, God offers King Solomon anything he wants. Instead of cashing in on wealth or power, he humbly asks for wisdom. God loves this, and grants him unparalleled wisdom, making him the wisest man in history. He is credited with writing 3000 wise sayings and over a thousand songs. Check out the book of Proverbs to see for yourself.
Many look at Proverbs as their life coach and how to live a better life. But Proverbs is so much more than that. It presents two paths: wisdom and folly, ultimately providing us wisdom for life so we can make good and wise choices. If we're honest, we've all played the fool at some point. Every time, it highlights our need for a Savior.
Centuries before Jesus shows up on earth, a guy named Agur steps in and writes Proverbs 30. He writes words like "I am weary and worn out and stupid! And I don’t know God…" and then asks some mind-bending riddles: Who climbed into heaven and came back down? Who controls the wind, wraps the water in a cloak, and sets the earth’s boundaries? What is His name? and the name of His Son? Tell me if you know.
The name of His Son is Jesus — He’s the One who has become wisdom for us. You see? It’s Jesus living in us — all of God’s wisdom dwells in us! Proverbs now becomes not what we can do but who we are in Jesus. And we come to realize the wisdom Proverbs demands is the wisdom Jesus provides to know Him.
There’s so much more to the story. Read it for yourself: Proverbs

Got myself some wisdom
From a leather-back book
Got myself a Savior

"Fool's Wisdom" is by the British gospel duo Malcolm and Alwyn from the 1970s. The lyrics explore the contrast between earthly intellectual pride and the humble, transformative experience of faith found in HIS Word. "Fool's Wisdom" is a reference to the message of the cross that is foolishness to those who are perishing (1 Corinthians 1:18).

A most notorious road is the Via Dolorosa. According to tradition, it’s the route Jesus took from Pilate’s hall to Calvary. No one actually knows the exact route Jesus followed that Friday. But we do know where the path began. In heaven. Jesus began His journey when He left His home in search of us.
The Bible has a word for this quest: reconciliation.
“For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And He gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.” (2 Corinthians 5:19 NLT).
Reconciliation restitches the unraveled, reverses the rebellion, and rekindles the cold passion. Reconciliation touches the shoulder of the wayward and woos him homeward.
The path to the cross tells us exactly how far God will go to call us back. — Max Lucado
Please note: Due to family camp, there is no livestream this week.

"Reconciliation restitches the unraveled, reverses the rebellion, and rekindles the cold passion." — Max Lucado
"Reconciliation is God's language for a broken world." — Chris Rice
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where you are
And where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
