The document discusses "the simple" or naive person in Proverbs. It describes their characteristics as open-minded, loving their naive condition, and lacking good sense. As a result, the simple are easily led astray and don't foresee potential dangers. The document states the simple will either die from their own foolishness or only inherit folly. However, it notes the simple can be corrected through instruction in God's word or learning from the discipline of others. Wisdom begins with fearing the Lord.

Hampton Keathley, “Psalm one is a wisdom Psalm. There are praise Psalms, lament Psalms, and enthronement Psalms and all contain wisdom, of course, but as an introduction and door to the rest of the Psalms, this Psalm declares in just a few words some of the most basic but
profound truths and propositions of the Bible. In essence, God says there are two ways of life open to us: one means blessedness, happiness, and fruitfulness, but the other means cursedness, unhappiness, and judgment. The choice is ours.

"I want to talk to you this morning about THE BATTLE THAT RAGES FOR YOUR MIND. And you have to be aware that Satan is coming against this generation in an unprecedented measure.
He is attacking this generation to take the thoughts of God out of the minds of an entire society.
He's doing it through the school system.
He's doing it in our colleges.
He's doing it in the marketplace.
He's doing it in the halls of government.
And he's even doing it in the house of God.
Trying to eradicate everything that comes from the mind of God, to blind an entire generation, to take captives, as many as he can, for the scripture says, he knows that his time is short.
It seems that laughter can be both right and wrong, and it can be a challenge to know which is right at any time. It seems that you can laugh and be sad at the same time.
Spurgeon, “THIS is a very short Psalm, there are only six verses in it, but what a change there is between the beginning and the end of it! The first two verses are dolorous to the deepest degree, but the last verse is joyful to the highest degree. David begins many of his Psalms sighing and ends them singing, so that I do not wonder that Peter Moulin says, “One would think that those Psalms had been composed by two men of a contrary humor.”

All people have dreams. Some can take their dreams and turn it into reality. What is your dream and how can you make it happen. If your dream is God centered rather than self centered, you have the power to make you dream happen.
God's Word can not be apart of you unless you take time to read his word. Prayer is talking to God. The Bible is God's way of talking to you. You can't grow in God's Word unless you're reading God's Word.
Halloween is a time of Hocus Pocus. Christians are not to fear the forces of darkness but God only. This is the first of three parts. Download the Powerpoints at Bibleguy.org
It's unreasonable to think that two people can bond together in marriage and never have a disagreement. Fights are normal. The question isn't whether we fight, but how do we fight. Even boxing matches have rules. Establish rules for the fight and you'll usually have a successful marriage.
I preached this sermon when I was young. It means more to me now that I'm getting older. Wonderful things have been done for God by elderly adults. One should never think of himself/herself as too old. Neither should younger people count out the abilities and experience of the elderly.

Why should we go to church? Can't we celebrate God in nature, or even watch TV church? What is the church anyway? How does it relate to being a Christian? Aren't churches just a group of hypocrites, anyway?
Can you remember the joy of first receiving Christ? Why is it, that as we grow in Christ we sometimes know more, but experience the joy less. It's choice. In any relationship it requires a degree of effort to keep the joy in the relationship. Lord, Please return the joy to us.
The Christ Centered Life (Part 7): The ChurchDavid Turner
The Church is an essential part of living the Christ Centered Life. It is the body of Christ living together for Christ helping one another to live each one's life for Christ. We can't do it alone. If Christ loved his church and gave his life for it, shouldn't we as followers love what Christ loved?
The Christ Centered Life (Part 6): Unity Through HumilityDavid Turner
The Christ Centered Life is a selfless life. It places other above self and is willing to sacrifice selfish wants for the welfare of those around them. It is a life of humility rather than selfish pride and ambition. Philippians 2:1-11
The Christ Centered Life (Part 5): Everybody is SomebodyDavid Turner
The Christ Centered Life is a life that acknowledges the value of others. It does't just attempt to live for Christ, but also encourages others to live their lives for Christ. It helps others explore and use their abilities and gifts to the glory of their Lord. 1 Corinthians 12:12-31
The Christ Centered Life (Part 4): The Work PlaceDavid Turner
People follow Christ at Church and sometimes in their homes, but often find it difficult to integrate their faith in Christ with their job. How do we practice our faith in the workplace? Paul answers this in Ephesians 6:5-9

When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;
when the wicked rule, the people groan.
When good people rule, the people rejoice
For everyone benefits with their righteous choice,
But when the wicked are in charge of the throne,
Everyone loses, and the people all groan.

We are forgiven by God through Christ, therefore we ought to forgive others even as God has forgiven us. This is the heart of the Gospel. Growth in the spiritual life is often hindered because we often refuse to forgive others.
The Lord's Prayer was not taught to be repeated without thought as to what it means. It given by our Lord to teach us a model for prayer. In this presentation we will look at the components that make up a the way we ought to pray.
Are we trying to impress the world? Are we trying to impress others? Who are we trying to impress? Ultimately we can impress no one, not even God. But rewards are with God, not because we can impress him, but because he honors those that love him.
John 1:1 claims that all life is in Christ. He is the creator of life and he sustains all life. He is the author of physical life and spiritual life. Without him there is no life.
We call it the triumphal entry. Compared with the entry of other kings and generals it was modest. Compared to his future entry into Jerusalem all the kings entries of the past seem insignificant.

The founding fathers of our nation trusted in something greater than the Declaration of Independence. They trusted in the Bible and the God of the Bible. Our present leaders would do well to put their trust in the same God and the same Bible.
The greatest book of liberty is not a document or a declaration. The greatest book of liberty is the Bible. The bible presents the Gospel, the good news that sets me free.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

loudly in the plazas; 21
at the head of the noisy streets she calls, in
the entrances of the gates in the city she utters her words: 22
“How
long will you simpletons love naiveté? How long will mockers
delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?
8. I. The Characteristics of the Simple
C. The simple lacks good sense and
shrewdness in practical affairs.

He does not seek it out but is sucked into it.
2. He has little foresight of the impending
danger.
Proverbs 7:7 and I saw among the naive – I
discerned among the youths – a young man
who lacked wisdom.
Proverbs 7:22-23 22
Suddenly he went after her like an ox that goes to
the slaughter, like a stag prancing into a trapper’s snare 23
till an
arrow pierces his liver – like a bird hurrying into a trap, and he does
not know that it will cost him his life.
Proverbs 7:9-17 9
in the twilight, the evening, in the dark of
the night. 10
Suddenly a woman came out to meet him! She
was dressed like a prostitute and with secret intent. 11
(She
is loud and rebellious, she does not remain at home – 12
at
one time outside, at another in the wide plazas, and by
every corner she lies in wait.) 13
So she grabbed him and
kissed him, and with a bold expression she said to him, 14
“I
have fresh meat at home; today I have fulfilled my vows! 15
That is why I came out to meet you, to look for you, and I
found you! 16
I have spread my bed with elegant coverings,
with richly colored fabric from Egypt. 17
I have perfumed my
bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
9. I. The Characteristics of the Simple
D. The simple seek out the simple. They
walk to their deaths with company.
Proverbs 9:13-18 (NET)13

naive and does not know anything. 14
So she sits at the door of
her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city, 15
calling out
to those who are passing by her in the way, who go straight on
their way. 16
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here,” she says to
those who lack understanding. 17
“Stolen waters are sweet, and
food obtained in secret is pleasant!” 18
But they do not realize that
the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of the grave.
10. I. The Characteristics of the Simple

character.Proverbs 22:3 & 27:12 A shrewd person sees danger and
hides himself, but the naive keep right on going and suffer for
it.

A. His simple ways may kill him.
Parents protect the simplicity of the child.
We don’t let little kids play in the street.
Proverbs 1:31-32 31
Therefore they will eat from the
fruit of their way, and they will be stuffed full of their
own counsel. 32
For the waywardness of the
simpletons will kill them, and the careless ease of
fools will destroy them.
13. What will happen to the Simple?
B. He inherits what he is. Because there is
no substance to his character, he receives
nothing.
Proverbs 14:18 The naive inherit folly, but the shrewd
are crowned with knowledge.
14. II. What will happen to the Simple?
C. The Lord protects us in our naïveté.
God has compassion and makes
provisions for the simple.
Psalm 116:6 The Lord protects the untrained; I
was in serious trouble and he delivered me.
Numbers 15:27-28 27
“‘If any person sins
unintentionally, then he must bring a yearling female
goat for a purification offering. 28
And the priest must
make atonement for the person who sins
unintentionally – when he sins unintentionally before
the Lord – to make atonement for him, and he will be
forgiven.
15. III. The Simple can be corrected
A. He can learn from the discipline and fall
of others.
Proverbs 19:25 Flog a scorner, and as a result the
simpleton will learn prudence; correct a discerning
person, and as a result he will understand
knowledge.
Proverbs 21:11 When a scorner is punished, the
naive becomes wise; when a wise person is
instructed, he gains knowledge.
16. III. The Simple can be corrected
B. He can learn through instruction in God’s
Word.
Psalm 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect and preserves
one’s life. The rules set down by the Lord are reliable and
impart wisdom to the inexperienced.
Psalm 119:130 Your instructions are a doorway through
which light shines. They give insight to the untrained.
17. Wisdom begins with:
Proverbs 1:7 Fearing the Lord is the beginning of
moral knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and
instruction.
Romans 6:23 For the payoff of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 10:9 because if you confess with your
mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will
be saved.
