Introduction
Prov. 20:11 ¶ Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
We are known by our actions…
Integrity is a very important characteristic that every christian should work on in their life. It is obtained by allowing God to have control of our life. We are born liars, manipulators, who try to get our way…

Proverbs 20:15
Introduction
We live in the age of information. Smart phones have made us dumber. The sharpening of technology has dulled the intellectual ability to reason and remember.
The older, wiser generation, may not understand this, but the younger generation will understand, you don’t have one phone number memorized.
We don’t need to understand things, we can just look it up. Intellectual understanding has been devalued due to the in-exhaustible resources at the very tip of our fingers with a smart phone & internet.

Proverbs 20:12, 20, 30
Introduction
Tonight is more of a shotgun message, it will hit all over the place instead of just hitting one theme. These are the last three verses that I was not able to fit into a category in this chapter. From Proverbs 10 on, we have many sayings that are not necessarily themed, or go together. For sake of thought and continuity, I have been going through each chapter, and connecting the dots between the thoughts that are covered to give us a uniform way to look at them, and cover topics.

Revelation 21:1-8
Introduction
This entire Chapter is dedicated everything being made new! There is a great re-assurance, in knowing what is to come, and that while the heaven and earth is wiped out, that doesn't include humanity. This is where eternity is really described for us. The world is temporal, and will pass away.

Proverbs 22:1, 2, 8, 16, 21, 29
Introduction
I have never made any claims about being good with directions, because the truth of the matter is I’m not that good with directions. I have to see a map, and really spend some time looking at a map to figure things out.
Some people struggle with directions on a spiritual level, and are often confused, and struggle with the right direction in their life. All the verses we will look at this evening deal with the Way. Perhaps you ask yourself, Which Way Should I Go? Many times we stand at a cross road in our life, trying to figure out the best path to take. I hope tonights message will help you, and encourage you to take the right path.

Proverbs 21:3
Introduction
When we think of judgment, we tend to think of a judge setting on a throne, passing judgment on someone for wrong doing. While the picture is not wrong, that is a form of judgment, it is not quite complete either.
In looking at Judgment in chapter 21, it paints quite a different picture. Imagine yourself as the judge, now setting at the bench, and every day, deciding what is right and what is wrong in life. Deciding what you must do as a christian. - When you look at it in that light, it paints a very ideal picture of what judgment is.

Proverbs 21:27
Introduction
The word wicked or wickedness is used more frequently in the book of Proverbs than any other book of the Bible. It is used 9 times in 6 verses in this chapter. It is a theme can cannot be missed in this chapter.
Proverbs 21:27 – The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

Proverbs 21:11
Introduction
If you want to learn something, it is best to study someone who is successful. You don’t study someone who is poor, on how to handle finances (unless you are looking for what not to do). You don’t get counsel from someone who isn’t married about marriage. You don’t get wisdom from a fool. So it is very appropriate that we would get three observations about wise people, from the wisest man that ever lived. God has preserved these timeless truths in His Word, for us to learn from.

Proverbs 21
Introduction
We have the six miscellaneous verses left in Proverbs 21 that I couldn’t put into a category. So we will cover several things and try to get through all of them this evening. These could all be thrown into a very general category of Life. How to live life.
NOTE:
