I. Value Advisors
A. They Make War Easier
Since our battle is not against flesh and blood but against Satan and his dark forces, it is important to gain as much knowledge as we can.
We must know our Bibles.
If you are not in your Bible on a daily basis you are weak and the battle will not go well for you and those who are depending on you.
B. They Help Avoid Frustration
Guidance = steering of a ship
You may have plans, but those plans may have holes in them that you did not notice.
For our church, we have joint elder meetings and also Men’s advisory meetings, like the one coming up on the 30th.
II.
Law-keeping
A. Fights Wickedness

יִתְגָּ֥רוּ yiṯ·gāʹ·rû
גרה grhstir up strife, go to court; strive, battle
גרה grh to stir up strife, to go to court; to strive,
battle
Do you want to battle wickedness in this world?
keep the law.
We keep the higher law which is, “love one another as I have loved you.”
B. Brings Honor
companion - indicates a settled state of joining with gluttons.
humiliate - to harm someone or insult them.
C. Effects Your Prayers
All the people that say they pray everyday, but don’t obey the scriptures are wasting their breath.
I we will not honor God’s word in the Scriptures, then He will not honor our words in prayer.
D. Healthy Happiness
unrestrained = to let free, to make someone go out of control.
From 1992 to 2002, Swedish researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm tracked more than 3,000 men, rating them and their perceptions about their bosses.
By the end of the study, 74 of the men had suffered heart attacks or other serious cardiac events.
The lower an employer’s leadership score, the higher the worker’s risk of heart problems.
The chance of heart attack also increased with the number of years of exposure to the bad boss.
Anxiety, whether generated at work or at home, will do nothing to increase a person’s lifespan or quality of life.

III.
Repentance
A. Don’t Take Sin Lightly
To mock at sin is to make light of it.
In the church there “acceptable sins.”
B. Don’t Ignore Sin
In New Hampshire in 2009, a burglar was apologetic when caught in the act of looting a home, but apparently not remorseful enough to turn himself in.
Police said the owner of the house pulled into his driveway just as a thief was exiting the house carrying jewelry and electronic items.
When confronted, the burglar apologized and then put the stolen items back inside.
The homeowner tried to detain the man by engaging him in conversation, but the suspect escaped before police arrived.
Repentance is more than feeling guilty for sins—it is turning from them.
