Meekness vs. Anger
March 6, 2008
I used to have a friend who called Meakness, “Power under control”. More specifically, it is yielding our rights to God so He can demonstrate His peace and power through our lives.One Hebrew word translated meekness is -anavah. It is derived from the root -anah, which means “to humble oneself, to bow down, to be afflicted, to become low.” One Greek word for meek is -praus. It simply means “mild, humble.” The word meekness is often used in combination with other words such as lowliness (see Ephesians 4:2), righteousness (see Psalm 45:4), and gentleness (see II Corinthians 10:1).

Humility vs. Pride

Humility is recognizing that in myself I am nothing and have nothing, and therefore, everything in life is a gift from God’s hand.Several Hebrew words are translated humble. One is -anah, which means “to stoop, be downcast, bow down; to be afflicted; to weaken oneself; to mishandle.” King David expressed humility of soul by wearing sackcloth and by fasting. (See Psalm 35:13.)

Proverbs 1:1-33
March 1, 2008
Whenever I read the Proverbs of King Solomon, a single thought comes to my mind: These are the words of a man that who possessed the collective wisdom of God. That’s an incredible thought. Not because it is a high honor that was bestowed by God but rather because it is the kind of thing that we all take for granted. How often do we look at the Bible as a stuffy book that is either irrelevant or counter culture when in fact the Bible is as tenaciously relevant as it was when it was originally penned. Read more
