794. Ephesians - Chapter 5 (#3) - People will think of us by the things we do, and the words we speak April 17, 2025

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 17. I will then key in on verse 3 - The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the Lord tests the hearts. Friends, becoming a mature Christian takes time. After saying the sinner's prayer it may take months or years to rid yourselves of certain habits that you are used to doing. I will begin today's lesson by reviewing the three points I introduced on yesterday's podcast (#793 - If you didn't get a chance to tune in, I invite you to do so). We will then continue our study of the Book of Ephesians. We will be going over Chapter 5, verses 3-7 today. By the end of today's lesson there are three things I ask that you consider:1. People will think of us by the things we do, and the words we speak.2. The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God.3. We are to keep ourselves pure, and not share in other people's sins.Scriptures referenced on today's podcast:Proverb 17:3; Ephesians 5:3-7; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; 1 Timothy 5:22Call to Action - Are you discerning when it comes to listening to people share with you their mistakes (do not give in to temptation to want to involve yourself with the sin(s) they are sharing with you).
