Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 15:29

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 15:29GOD NEAR AND FAR OFFI. God is not far from the wicked in a local sense. The most wicked man upon the face of the earth lives and moves and has his being by reason of his relation to that God whom he practically ignores. The power of life that he possesses is not self-originated, and although we do not know exactly how he lives in God, we know that in this sense he is near to Him, for “He is not far from everyone of us” (Acts 17:27). But—II. God is far from the... read more

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 15:30CHEERFULNESS AND GOOD TIDINGSTwo views are taken of the meaning of the first clause of this verse. Some understand it to mean that the objective light that plays upon the eyes of the body rejoices the heart of the man who is under its influence; and others understand by “the light of the eyes” that “cheerfulness of countenance” spoken of in Proverbs 15:13, which has such an inspiriting effect upon those who behold it. We suggest a line of thought upon both... read more

Reproof is good when it is given with a good intention and when it is given wisely. Those who undertake to handle the amputating knife should be men who are intent upon the healing of the patient, and must also know where to cut and how much to cut, otherwise the operation may tend to death rather than... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 15:20

Proverbs 15:20 I. Consider in what this wisdom consists. Wisdom in the Proverbs does not mean simply intellectual greatness, or intellectual acquirements; a man may be very learned and clever, yet be quite destitute of that excellent wisdom of which Solomon speaks. Wisdom means goodness; it means striving to discover what is God's will as regards the conduct of our lives, and acting upon it when discovered. It means keeping God's commandments and loving and fearing Him, and doing unto all men... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 15:23

Proverbs 15:23 I. It is of importance to take notice of that habit which is opposed to the duty for which the text contends; I mean the habit of reserve. It would be a grievous mistake to suppose that this habit is wholly a bad one. But the important point to notice is, that the reaction against the counterfeit of devotion is likely to rob us of what was intended by God to be a true aid to devotion. How often have we seen persons of the greatest ability, and the purest hearts, who yet dared... read more

DISCOURSE: 790INSTRUCTION TO BE OBEYEDProverbs 15:32. He that refuseth instruction, despiseth his own soul.THE Scriptures speak plainly, and represent things as they really are. Perhaps there is no man that would acknowledge he despised God: yet does God lay that sin to the charge of all who question his retributive justice: “Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, while he doth say in his heart, Thou wilt not require it [Note: Psalms 10:13.]?” So none would confess that they “despise their own... read more

The Hedge of Thorns and the Plain Way A sermon (No. 1948) delivered at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington, by C. H. Spurgeon. “The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.” Proverbs 15:19 . You must have noticed how frequently godly people almost wear out their Bibles in certain places. The Psalms, the Gospel of John, and parts of the Epistles are favourite portions, and are thumbed in many an old believer’s Bible till the fact is... read more
