Title: The Benefits of a Righteous Life
Text: Various Texts
Theme: Righteousness and Wisdom
Series: Wise Guy: Life Lessons from the Book of Proverbs
Introduction|
Attention:
Napoleon made a mistake when he said that God is on the side of the strongest battalion.
This statement has been proven wrong many times in the Bible and throughout history.
Abraham took 318 men and defeated 4 kings and their armies.
Gideon, with his 300 dedicated men, defeated an army of thousands.
David, a shepherd lad, untrained for war and armed with only a sling, killed a giant nine feet tall.
I believe that God is on the side of those who do right.
God will fight the battles of those who determine to be in His will.
Righteousness is still the greatest weapon.
