If we are going to live wisely, we need to understand that our actions have consequences. Our deeds are leading us to a certain destiny. Proverbs reveals the inescapable moral order woven into the fabric of reality itself. And it points us to the only way to receive a better outcome than all our deeds deserve.

God calls us to love, treasure and cherish him with all that we are, and all that we have, with all our being, and all of our doing, in each and every aspect of life. If we don't, both success and failure will be a danger to us.

There are certain ways of living that are characteristic of the wise. You can observe them in generation after generation. What are the "family traits" of wise people down through history? Solomon gives us three.

The scriptures tell us that it is possible to grow in wisdom, but it won't happen by accident. God is pleased to give us wisdom! But we need to know and accept His terms and conditions.

We live in a time when we can observe evils happening all over the world in real time. Provoking our outrage has become a core business strategy within the attention economy. But Psalm 37 gives us wisdom for how to walk in the way of peace.
Peace within, Peace without, Lasting Peace.

Psalm 23 is the probably the most well known poem in the world. Why? Because it speaks to the universal human experience of feeling weak and afraid. And in the midst of deepest darkness, it gives us a message of peace and hope.

The famous philosopher and atheist Bertrand Russell was once asked what he would say if, after death, he found himself standing before almighty God. Russell replied - "Not enough evidence, God! Not enough evidence." Many people share the sentiment, but is that right? According to the Bible God is a speaking God. Psalm 19 shows us that God is speaking constantly, universally and verbally.

"To thine own self be true." But who are you? The scriptures teach us that before we can know who we are, we need to know who God is. Psalm 8 shows us God and our selves.

Where are you looking for satisfaction? The Rolling Stones famously sang I can't get no satisfaction; the author of the book of Ecclesiastes agrees. Satisfaction is fleeting. Or is it?

Almost every profession and job has a code of conduct which sets out the expectations for us in our work. But our most important roles - spouse, parent, child, etc - don't come with one. In Ephesians 5:21-6:9, Paul gives us a household code for Christian people. He sets out the principle, then he shows what it looks like for different members of the household to apply it.

The darkness of sin is much more of a problem than we generally recognise. We can see the darkness not only in sinful deeds, but also in sinful words and thoughts. The problem goes all the way down into us, and all the way out across society. But Christians, the Bible says, are light. And by God's power, even our darkness is made light.

Many people have struggled with certain besetting sins and character flaws for years, if not decades. Can people ever really change? Paul says Christians can and must change. And he shows us the engine for change that transforms us from the inside out.

"Live a life worthy of the calling by which you have been called." Knowing the high calling on the church in Ephesians 1-3, how could we ever live up to it? By God's grace we have been given gifts to equip us for the worthy life.

As Paul moves from explaining God's big plan for the universe to the practical implications of that plan for the church, he prays. His prayer gives us a great model of how to pray for our church in particular and the church universal.

When we read the book of Acts, we find that in the earliest days of the church there was a Copernican revolution in terms of understanding God's plan for His People. The mystery that was formerly hidden but now revealed is that Christ's salvation is open to all people without distinction. Jews and Gentiles have been equally incorporated into third-kind of humanity, one new family - the church.

Everywhere we look in the world, people are divided. Public discourse, politics, international trade - it's all become increasingly hostile. What is God's answer to our divisions? The Cross of Christ. There at the cross, our hostilities were put to death and we were reconciled to God and one another.

Becoming a Christian always requires a miraculous work of God. Paul reminds Christians of what we were, tells us what are and explains what we are for.

What is God's blueprint for your life? Knowing God's master plan will enable you to live confidently and give you a sense of direction. Ephesians summarises God's big plan.
