Lessons from Nabal
Posted by ProliferatingTruth on September 16, 2011
1 Samuel 25; Matthew 7:12 – "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
1. PEOPLE ARE FICKLE - furthermore, they tend to be selfish and unappreciative.
2. DON’T BANK ON THE APPRECIATION OR RECIPROCATION OF OTHERS - even when you’ve done your very best to give them every reason to be both reciprocal AND appreciative.
3. SHARE YOUR BLESSINGS AND RESOURCES – exercise the Golden Rule, that you might be blessed with friends, and not enemies, in life.
4. DON’T BE CHURLISH – this inspires opposition in others; and, furthermore, it EXASPERATES them.
5. MAKE UP FOR ANOTHER’S CHURLISHNESS IF POSSIBLE – IF possible, that is.
6. DON’T FLIP OUT WHEN THINGS DON’T GO AS YOU’D PLANNED OR PRESUMED THEY WOULD GO – don’t overreact, as David did. And don’t blow your stack, as Nabal did. Both reactions have a tendancy to lead to premature death.
7. KEEP GOD INVOLVED – and align your responses with His merciful character and compassion. BE THE BIGGER MAN – and God will handle your Nabal FOR you.

Lessons from Laban
Posted by ProliferatingTruth on September 16, 2011
Genesis 29; Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 – "Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. 2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. 3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words. 4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. 5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. 6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? 7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God."
1. DTA (Don’t Trust Anybody)- not even your future father-in-law.
2. ALWAYS get the details clear – and, where possible, ALWAYS get them in writing.
3. INSIST UPON INTEGRITY – even if your Laban HAS none, but insists he’s ACTING WITH integrity. And ALWAYS ACT WITH INTEGRITY YOURSELF.
4. DO RIGHT – regardless of Laban’s UTTER INABILITY to do right. And …
5. GET, and KEEP, God involved.

“What Ever Happened to Good, Old-Fashioned Integrity?”
Posted by ProliferatingTruth on August 14, 2009
“What ever happened to good, old-fashioned integrity?” This is a question I ask myself daily nowadays. Integrity seems to be a rare thing to come by these days. There are so many character traits which are missing in people these days, like compassion, patience, meekness, and character in general.
