Truth from the Mouth of a Fool 

October 3, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - fool, Mark 8:35–36, rewards, wisdom
The book of Proverbs calls a person who lives an immoral life a fool. Both believers and unbelievers can be fools.  I recently read a quote attributed to someone who falls into that category. Mae West, an actress who lived before my time (perhaps some folks who are even older than me will remember her!),

Don’t Take That Road (Proverbs 1:10-15) 

October 18, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Bema, fool, Hebrews 11, Proverbs 1:10-33, wisdom
In high school, I remember reading Robert Frost’s poem, “The Road Not Taken.” It describes Frost’s coming to a fork in the road and having to decide which of the two forest paths he would travel. He chose the one that was less traveled, and it was a great adventure. I suppose the point of

Different Responses to the Word (Proverbs 1:22) 

September 17, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - fool, Matt 25:2, Matt 7:26, mocker, scorner, simple, wisdom
In Prov 1:22, Wisdom is personified as a woman. She cries out for people to listen and pleads with them to hear God’s Word. The wise are those who do so. But three types of people do not. They are the simple, the fool, and the scorner–also referred to as a mocker. The simple person

What About Decision Making and God’s Will Concerning Marriage?
1 Cor 10:27, 1 Cor 7:39, choice, decision-making, Desire, Freedom, Gary Friesen, God’s Will, Marriage, Occupation, widow, wisdom
Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are answering a question about finding God’s will–especially for a marriage partner, but also in other decisions. Is there a formula for this? How can we know that we’ve arrived at the point where God wants us? Or maybe it’s not a point but a matter of freedom–making a wise choice out of many choices that God would be honored by. Bob and Ken have an interesting discussion for you concerning this matter. Please listen!

The Wisdom of Christ (Luke 2:47) 

January 2, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - 2 Tim 3:16, John 6:68, John 7:46, Luke 2:41-48, Mark 6:2, teaching, wisdom
Many years ago, I saw the movie Good Will Hunting. It’s a story about a young mathematical genius. My favorite part of the movie is how the experts are amazed at his intelligence. The movie starts with the young man as a janitor at MIT. The faculty at the school put two complex math problems

Not Sinful, But Not Wise? (1 Kings 3:1-4)

May 5, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1 Kings 3:1-4, neutral areas, Solomon, wisdom
Many people know the story about how Solomon, as he faced the task of ruling after the death of his father David, asked the Lord for wisdom. The author of 1 Kings records what happened (1 Kgs 3:1-15). Clearly, the Lord was pleased with Solomon and his request, and we are told Solomon loved the

Is Praying for Wisdom and Seeking Wisdom Being Double Minded? Also: Was Jesus Thinking of Psalm 22 on the Cross &; Was he Praying for Deliverance From the Cross?
Double-Mindedness, healing, Jas 1:5-8, Psalm 22, trials, wisdom
Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob and Shawn will be answering questions from our listeners. First, the guys will be responding to a question about James 1:5-8. How should we pray for wisdom? Is praying for wisdom and seeking wisdom a form of double mindedness? We will also hear the guys unpack Psalm 22, and its connection to the cross. We hope you can join us as we seek to keep grace in focus.

Does God Answer Your Prayer About Suffering with Silence? 

May 26, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Prayer, silence, Suffering, trials, wisdom
Q. To follow up your blog on Proverbs and the days of evil, why do you think God answers our prayers with silence? Why would He do that, especially when we’re suffering and so desperate for answers? A. Thanks for letting me clarify. I disagree with the premise that God answers those prayers with silence.

Plans for the Wicked (Proverbs 16:4)

May 14, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - foreknowledge, Proverbs, providence, wicked, wisdom
Question What are your thoughts on this verse? The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil (Prov 16:4). Answer I think of that verse in light of God’s foreknowledge and His providence over creation. As you probably know, Christians disagree over those subjects, and I’ve written

Don’t Put Your Brother Down (James 4:11)

April 22, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - church life, Discipleship, James, one another commands, tongue, wisdom
George Harrison once passed a church billboard that read, “Gossip: The Devil’s Radio… Don’t Be a Broadcaster.” That message hit home. Because he was a Beatle, the press gossiped about him constantly, and it hurt. It inspired Harrison to write the song “Devil’s Radio.” Isn’t it interesting that even a non-Christian can understand and be
