Integrity
#
Proverbs 20:7 – The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are
blessed after him.
Introduction
Integrity is something that is very important. Integrity is not
something easily viewed. Integrity is that personal desire to do what is
right when no one is around to notice, and no one will ever find out. It
is closely related to character.
I. Integrity in Conduct (Proverbs 20:7)
#
A. Integrity in Action – Job, David, Samuel, Daniel, Joseph
#
1. Integrity does not come naturally
#
Prov. 22:15 ¶ Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the
rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Final Judgement Day
#
Revelation 20:11-15
Introduction
This passage is a very serious passage. It deals with the end of time as we know it, it deals with man standing before God to give account of his deeds. It is important that we understand this will absolutely take place, and every single day, it draws closer.
I. Facing the Lord (11-12)
#
A. Deliverer (11) “him that sat on it”
#
i. Who sits on that throne? That becomes an important topic.
#
John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

Integrity
#
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…

Counsel
#
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.

Miscellaneous Thoughts
#
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.

Everything Made New
#
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.

Which Way Should You Go?
#
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.

Judgment
#
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 21:5-6
Introduction
A practical look at treasure, getting, gain, finances and the christian.
I. Diligent Gain (Pro 21:5a)
#
Pro 21:5a – The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness;

- A diligent person is someone who is steady in application to business,
they are in constant effort to accomplish the goal.
- Christians should be diligent people, the ant is one of the most
diligent of creation, and God tells us to observer their ways! They
are constantly diligently preparing for winter.
B. Planning, preparing (Joseph prepared)
#
- Some people act with no thought!
- A diligent person, will be thinking ahead, planning and preparing!
- Someone wise once said, “Prior proper planning prevents poor
performance.” - not Bible, still good.
- Not all plans work, but having no plan is in essence planning to fail.
C. Plenteousness (Egypt had plenty)
#
- There is provisions for hard times.
II. Deceitful Gain (Pro 21:5b, 6)
#
Prov. 21:5b ...but of every one that is hasty only to want.

Proverbs than any other book of the Bible. It is used 9 times in 6
