Three Different Behaviors: Which One Are You?

This was the sermon from last Sunday at my church. Here are 3 different behaviors for people from the book of Proverbs:

-Wise

-Foolish

-Evil.

I am going to tell you some characteristics of those three behaviors. First is the WISE.

-"Wise people seek wisdom."

-"The wise person sees the light, takes it in, and make adjustments."-Henry Cloud

-Traits of the WISE

           -listens to feedback

           -say thank you

          -own their mistakes

          -won't repeat problems

          -relationships are strengthened through instruction

           -Feeling: Remorse

The next behavior I am going to tell you about is the FOOLISH kind.

-"The fool tries to adjust the truth so he/she doesn't have to adjust to the truth."-Henry Cloud

-Traits of a FOOL:

            -Give excuses

            -Takes no feedback

            -shifts the blame

            -Feeling: lots of rage

-The FOOL wants more affirmation.

-How to correct the fool:

             -Truth and consequences

The last behavior I am going to talk about is EVIL.

-"The EVIL responds to the door."

-Traits of EVIL:

         -conspire at feedback

         -Feeling: rage into revenge

-How to correct EVIL:

           -Speration 

Proverbs 1:24-28 are the verses for this year. For 2020. They explain perfectly what it has been like. Yet Proverbs 1:29-30 should be out response to it. We should be wise and ask for forgiveness and repent as a nation. 

Let's be the WISE Nation and ask for forgiveness and repentance! 

Election 2020 Personal Prayer

          I might get a lot of hate because I am writing this but I don't care. You don't know me so you can't judge me and of you know me you won't judge me. 

Prayer:

         Dear Daddy,

                 So election day 2020 is finally over! Can we get back to normal now instead of worse? I've never been more scared or interested in the election then this year. Lord, I do agree that we need You though really bad. Please sweep through this nation and heal this land. Calm every mind and body tonight. Restore our strength so we can start anew. Renew our minds. Cast out anything that's not of You. Please lead our President whoever he may be. He is human too. People forget that sometimes. Lead us back to rightousness again. Makes us the strong country again with people who love no matter what. Heal broken families. Feed the pour. Take away the drugs. Take away the sins. Care for the children. Bring us together again. We are all humans with feelings. Red, yellow, black or white put us together and start with me again. Right where I am at because I know I could be used right there. You put us in places for reasons we don't understand at times but you have your reasons. Just show us the way.

In Jesus' name, 

Amen
