- I love the quote, even though I do not know who said it, "atheists don't not believe in God, they believe in anything". However, the one who wants to live in the ways of God considers the path that one walks.
- Being that prudence is the shrewdness or good judgment side of wisdom; prudence becomes a matter of living in the Holy Spirit, since He is our wisdom as He points us to the wisdom of Jesus!
14.26,27 "In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death." (ESV)
- What a great set of verses for a men's retreat! Our confidence is not in how "manly" I am but in the fact that God is God and I am a creature of the King. Do I desire my girls to grow up in safety and confidence then their dad needs to fear the Lord! Wow, do I live with the holiness of God always before me. That is the only source of life, knowing that Jesus is my functional life source and that His wants to give me that life in abundance. So (dude) avoid sin and death (Psalm 1); live in Jesus and be alive!
- For that men's retreat, a built in four sessions.
15.3 "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good." (ESV)
- Psalm 37 & 139.
15.33 "The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honor." (ESV)
- Contentment in that station that the Lord has one in!
