Think on this!

Proverbs 11: 14

¹⁴ For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers.

Probably one of the things I do most in ministry, is offer Biblical counsel to people struggling with various situations.

There are times when I get tired of giving the same advice over and over.

The other thing that I find crazy, is that people don’t often seek advice anymore from Pastors/Preachers/Ministers.

When I need wise counsel about anything, I go to people who not only know the Word well, but who put the literal Word into practice.

This will probably get me into some trouble, but I don’t know an EAP program anywhere, that got people the long term spiritual help they really needed.

Who do you get spiritual advice from?

My grandfather owned a tavern many years ago, and through the years, various people went to him for general advice.

People who frequent bars, are good for giving advice...but not so good for giving good advice.

My Dad used to say... “Those people can solve all the problems of the world, except their own.” How true.

I’m pretty selective in who I get advice from, and who I ask.

I’m not certain that the first person I’d go to get help from regarding my marriage, would be from someone whose been married multiple times.

Although we can learn greatly from our mistakes, I think I’d want to learn from an expert in the field.

Maybe people don’t come to me for spiritual advice, because they know I’ll always tell the truth. Do you always give truthful advice?

Isn’t it the...TRUTH that will set us free? I believe I need to think on that one for a while...
