Today's Verse is Proverbs 1:10-11a,14
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
If they say, ...
Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
I first encountered verse 14 in England while a news program was reporting on how a con artist had used it to give his message a religious tone, misleading many, who like many -- if not most of us -- never checked the context of the quote. Nevertheless, compare verse 14 with, "To all according to their need, from all according to their ability." There are many who would think that Communism or Socialism have a Biblical defense, at least when considering its altruistic ideas. However, this one passage warns us that THIS IS NOT THE WAY. So, let us take heed, pay attention, and not be deluded by those who, "with feigned words make merchandise of you."
To God Be the Glory
