but proverbs 4:7 says something fascinating. wisdom is a principle thing. hold it, hold it, wait. i need help. no, wisdom is the principle thing. he didn't say faith was. he said wisdom. he didn't say money was. he said wisdom. he didn't even say the power of the holy spirit was. he said, wisdom. what is wisdom? wisdom is the ability to discern difference. the difference in right and wrong. the difference between a good decision and a wrong decision. the difference in a moment. let me give you an example. t the fharacies got to talk to jesus. imagine talking to jesus, god on the earth, face to face. imagine having a minute to say anything you wanted to, ask him any question. imagine being face to face with jesus and getting to ask him anything you wanted. imagine that privilege of access. and here's what they did with that minute. why did you heal him on the sabba sabbath? is that not unwise? i'm going to try to class this thing up. give me a few minutes. really stupid, isn't it? a woman who had hemorrhag 12 yea saw an access to him and she just said, if i can touch the hem of his

the actions of the israeli government the expansion of the settlements is the main story and the proverb which displaces forty thousand bedouins in the south of israel is another element of the story which is that the israeli establishment is determined to undermine any basis for a viable palestinian state that's why it's expanding the settlements and so if that's the case there's no basis for these talks to come to an agreement which would give justice to the palestinians and they the basis for real peace yet only him many voices including get the worst of u.s. diplomats who say that israel settlement plans. are no threat to the peace talks so could this issue actually do rail. i think it could i think it puts the p.a. leadership under a lot of pressure they want to go ahead with these talks but it's clear that it's just i mean. the aim of the settlements is very very clear you've been doubling of settlers over the past twelve years and it's to break up the west bank it's on your mind any basis for kind of a coherent palestinian state because then he goes going to go see asians the isra

then of course you know proverbs 3:5 and 6 trust in the lord with all your heart. not half heart. trust in the lord with all your heart. don't lean to your own understanding. who is doing the directing? don't lean to your own understanding. seek his guidance, wait for him. listen to him. he said, i'll make your path straight. i'll make it clearer. there are two promises of god for direction in our life whatever he challenges us to do. now, you think, everybody in here has a different life plan. every single one of us. god has a plan for his life, her life, they're not the same. but in the eyes of god, because he loves every single one of us equally, god has a plan for each one of us. and he's personally involved in seeing that that plan is fulfilled. he knows the tragedy in a person's life when it's not fulfilled. he knows the joy in watching it become fulfilled. and he wants us to recognize that we're special in his eyes. there's no such thing as a non person in the eyes of god. every single person is important. you may look at yourself and say i'm not very important. the reason

for what the general said, there is the old proverb -- what does not kill you, makes you stronger.ikes that are not really -- the can be too little, too late. they are very shy strikes. the mib much better for the assad propaganda. there will be some civilians killed because the regime has admitted it is very possible in any strike. so, of course, they would get the cameras all over the world. it is very complicated, very touchy. and if we go, we have to go all the way, not have half. >> civilian casualties? [inaudible] >> what is that? >> i never said that there will not be civilian casualties. i said that it was unrealistic to expect such surgical attacks without casualties. there is no way you can wipe out the entire network with the weapon of choice, weapons fire from fighter jets or tomahawk cruise missiles from the sea or with bombers. there is no way to do that except with a comprehensive air campaign. >> by the way, this thursday, the syrian president reportedly speaking according to state media, warning that if there is a strike, he will not sit idle. >> the threats of dir

proverbs 4:20-22, wonderful scriptures. listen to this. "my son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart." now watch this. "for they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh." in exodus it says, "the lord is our physician." exodus 15:26, "isaac leeser's translation says, "i am the lord your physician." if you put that together with proverbs 4:22, this is what you get, "i am the lord your physician. the medicine that i prescribe for you is my word." so, we need to take the word and let it get down on the inside of us and we need to meditate on that word. let's don't just meditate on how bad we feel. let's meditate on "god is working in me right now. i'm taking his word as my medicine." okay, now look, i've got some tylenol here. it can be aleve or whatever you like, you know? not advertising for any certain brand but that's what i have here. now, if i had a headache, how many of you think that if i just laid those on my hea

that is proverbs 3, 5, 6 which is my favorite bible verse. i say it every day and wanted to share it with you. so you will have something to hold on to. losing trayvon martin was absolutely devastating but as i think about the loss also think about the possible gain, and what are they? just to be here among you, just to be here to let people know, for people to let me know they are praying for us, that they are with us, that they are supporting us, that is what gives us the fuel to keep going. we have that drive because just like trade on -- just like trayvon martin, a am sure you have children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews that you have to care about as well. gary difficult to stomach the fact that trayvon martin wasn't committing any crime, he was on his way home from the store so how many of your teenagers go to the store? that is how close it will hit home. that is my message. don't wait. don't wait until it is at your front door. don't wait until something happens to your child, your niece, your nephew, your grandson or granddaughte

there's an old proverb that says until the lion tells his own story, tales of the hunt will always glorify punt hunter. we want to tell our own story. it's important to have business involved in the city of detroit but we don't need a downtown detroit and a neighborhood detroit. we need one detroit. so while we're glad that "morning joe" came in to talk about detroit and he talked to a number of individuals, absent the input of individuals like us from the neighborhood and from the community, it's important to have that other strategy. we want downtown development, ed. we want people to be employed. but after the bankruptcy, after kevin orr is no more, where do we go from here? where are the jobs? what about the pensions that the people have worked so hard for? where is the money coming in to build rebuild the and the neighborhoods? those questions are yet to be determined and to be asked. as we see the development of downtown, there's a lot of development going on downtown. as we see new stadiums coming in, as we seed individuals buying up buildings for their personal use and to employ ce

it's...it goes back to this principle that i've used so many times, proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7. it says, for as he thinks in his heart, so is he. the way that you think is going to influence the way that you act and if you think on spiritual things, then it's going to produce spiritual results. but if you think on carnal things, it produces carnal results, and that's what it says in this next verse. in verse 6, "for to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." man, that is a great truth. to be carnally minded... what is carnal? you know, a lot people associate carnality with just gross sinfulness, and it is true that all sinfulness is carnal. but the word "carnal" just literally means... if you look it up in the strong's concordance, it...the word "sarx" here means "flesh as stripped of skin". in other words, not just your physical epidermis here, but another word for it is "meat", just the flesh part of you. for instance, when you say "chili con carne", did you know that the word "carne" comes from the root word of "carnal"... "sarx" right he
