The Path: A Study in Proverbs

Proverbs 3:5-6

Your Heart Matters

The principle of The Path is a big part of the Book of Proverbs in the Bible. It says Your direction determines your destination. Last week we talked about how Proverbs calls the wise prudent and those who are not wise, simple. The prudent see danger and take refuge, while the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

This week we will talk about why it is that we often choose our path based on what will make us happy right now instead of taking the long view and figuring out what will make us happy in the long run.

Apparently, people back during Solomon’s time weren’t too different from people today. Solomon gave a solution to the happiness quest which we will discuss on Sunday.

Splinters from the Board

Chad Baugher, Moderator

Church on the Hill UPDATE:

We are excited that work is nearing completion. We are awaiting the doors and some painting.

Century Construction is the church's liaison to all of the contractors.

Leslie West is the church's liaison to Century Construction.

Please contact Leslie with any questions or concerns and she will pass them on to the contractor. Email or text is preferred at leslie@wwnash.com or 804-307-3282. With safety as a top priority, the area is a work zone so contractors and their employees should be the only persons in the area. Century has requested one point of contact for all communications. Any conversation with Century must be handled by Leslie West.
