Instruction

Ministries

Proverbs 1:2-7 – To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth —

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.

EPHESIANS 5:15-16 – Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. THEME OF THE DAY.

The Christian’s True Identity

TAKE UP AND READ Description from the back Cover: “With its identity politics, numerous gender identity options, “selfies,” and “you-do-you” mentality, society emphasizes individualism, but it seems like people are having a harder time than ever figuring out who they are.
