Proverbs 18:8 Today's Scripture & Insight: Proverbs 18:1–8 The newspaper declared that Pep had taken the life of the cat belonging to the governor’s wife—but he didn’t do it. The only thing he may have been guilty of was chewing the sofa at the governor’s mansion. Pep was a rambunctious young Labrador retriever owned by Pennsylvania’s governor Gifford Pinchot in the 1920s. The dog actually was sent to Eastern State Penitentiary, where his mug shot was taken with a prisoner identification number. When a newspaper reporter heard about it, he made up the cat story. Because his report appeared in the newspaper, many believed Pep really was a cat-killer. Israel’s King Solomon knew well the power of misinformation. He wrote, “The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts” ( Proverbs 18:8 ). Sometim...

 1. Friends Of Jesus Scripture:  John 15:4 Denomination:  *other Contributed by   Clay Gentry   on Aug 22, 2013 Summary:  Building an accrositc off the word FRIENDS, we'll explore what it means to be a friend to Jesus. I think the secret is out of the bag… God made us social creatures. From the very beginning, God has wanted us to share life and its experiences with godly friends. He wants to have someone to weep with and rejoice with, to share life with. To be friendless, to have no one to share life with, is a sad existence is it not? The Teacher in Ecc 4:10 said, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. Woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up.” This morning I want to tell you about someone who wants to be your friend. He’s a friend in a high place. He’s Jesus the Christ. And the great thing about this friend is that He has told us exactly h...

Summary:  An analysis of Jesus’ first word on the cross, as set forth in Luke 23:34, teaches us about forgiveness.   Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” ( Luke 23:34 ). Herbert Lockyer, in his book titled, All the Last Words of Saints and Sinners, says, "The last words of both saints and sinners about to enter eternity, what they had to say before their stammering tongues lay silent in the grave, demands our deepest attention and most earnest concern. If, when the soul is face to face with eternal realities, true character is almost invariably manifest, then we can expect the lips to express glorious certainty or terror concerning the future." I want to look at the last words of neither a saint nor a sinner but at the last words of our sinless Savior, Jesus Christ. By studying the last words of Christ we shall learn a great deal about the true character of our Savior. After Jesus was nailed to the cross, he spoke seven short phrases be...
