The Book of Proverbs
The book of Proverbs explains the wisdom of the Lord and the
duties towards God and our parents. We should praise God for his
wisdom because He created us and the world. God tells us that we need
to be prepared when we serve Him because He will judge us when we
die. We need to accept whatever falls upon us and make the best of it
like God would want us to do. The book of Proverbs tells us that we need
to cling on to Him which to me that means we should follow His
teachings and do whatever it takes to be with God so we can share in
God's life in heaven. When something bad happens to us and we don't
know how to handle it we can always pray to God for help, instead of
doing what may seem right to us may be wrong to God, that is why we
should pray to Him for help. If we trust in God then he will help us to
make the best of the situation. As long as we believe in God then he will
forgive us. I know that if we confess our sins often so that we don't forget
some of them later that he will forgive us as long as we are truly sorry for
them, we do our penance and we ask him for forgiveness then he will
forgive us. But if we don't do those things he will judge us when we die
and we will regret not doing them.
In chapter three it talks about our duties toward our parents. I
agree with what it says because they bring us into the world and raise us.
They also help us when we have problems in life by telling us why we
can't do something or why something is wrong. They also help us by
encouraging us, like doing good in school, practice hard for a sport, and
helping other people out when they too need help. I feel that if we didn't
have our parents to raise us and help us out w...

should take the blame for what we do.
Chapter sixteen tells us what God's punishment of sinners are. I
know that if we disobey God and not lead a life that he wants us to that
we will end up in purgatory or maybe hell. We can be with God if we
confess our sins and try to lead a good life.
In chapter twenty-one it tells us that sin must be avoided.
Everyone sins everyday but to try and avoid it you must not sin allot
otherwise you will get in a bad habit and sin even more. But when we do
sin we need to pray to God so that he can forgive us and to also go to
confession so our soul isn't crowed with sin and also so that we can
share in God's life in heaven.
The book of Proverbs tells us allot about how God wants us to act
and what we should believe in so that when we are judged we can be
with God in heaven.
become and better follower of the Lord but more importantly then that a better being as a whole.
As we develop a closer relationship with Christ we are to end up more mindful of His Holiness.
God sees all that happens to us why does he not help us? God loves us
2. Actively seek support. Talking with others rather than holding stress inside. Family, support groups, friends, and other counselors exist to help you talk through your experience.

When people experience a traumatic event it normally will have an impact on every facet of their being. God created us as triune being made of a body, soul (mind, will, and emotions). Crisis immediately impacts a person physically, cognitively, and emotionally. After some time has passed you can expect to see symptoms of the effects of the critical incident in relationships horizontally with family and friends; as well as the person’s vertical relationship with God. It is critical in crisis intervention that all three parts of a person be assessed and cared for appropriately to aid victims of crisis in healing from the critical incident.

"And, behold, one came and said unto Him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And He said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but One, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto Him, which? Jesus said, THOU SHALT DO NO MURDER, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." ~ Lord Jesus Christ Quote, Matthew 19:16-19, King James Version Bible
He didn’t want us to sin, as we were to be perfect in his eyes. But that all went away after Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s command to not eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and this is when sin was introduced into the world (the Fall). Sin is now just a human nature thing in us and now we keep making poor choices as we have the “sin” blood in us and we need to make the right choices daily to keep us sin free.
...what one does. God hopes that everyone lives a good, generous life. Everyone should perform actions from their hearts, because if one is forced to do something it is not love. For instance, throughout life one is taught that being there for the other or a friend is something that is out of love and is the significance of friendship. Everyone should be friends with the poor, get to know them, and lend a helping hand.
As Christians if we are obeying Jesus’ command of “loving God” and “loving our neighbor” we are following the Ten Commandments, because they all flow into these two commands given by Jesus. The Old Testament Law was condemning, as all men are sinners and unable to fulfill the law and it pointed the way for mans need for a savior (Rom. 7:7-9; Gal. 3:24). Since we could never obey the Old Testament Law, God sent His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. If we “love our God” and “love our neighbors,” we will be following the two greatest commands Jesus gave to his followers. As unworthy sinners we should praise and honor God for the gift of salvation He provided to us. It is in Jesus Christ that Old Testament Laws are fulfilled.

God and the Bible’s teachings are used as a framework to find meaning in life and purpose of human presence. Purpose resides in every human’s potential to strive for peace, seek equality, nurture relationships and the environment to achieve harmony with the earth (Valk, 2012). “Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior and my hope is in you all day long” (Ps 25:5). The Holy Spirit, known as God’s active force and His power in action (Lk 1:35), is used as a guide by Christians to ascertain and determine what is right. “We choose to act based on good thinking, scripture and prayer, and the Holy Spirit helps us discern the right alternatives” (Shelly & Miller, 2006, p. 89). In seeing others as the image of God, choosing what is right from wrong is influenced by beliefs cultural background and respect for one another. In this religious culture, the tendency to do wrong is seen as sinfulness. However, it is the admission of sin that leads Christians to Jesus Christ to find and experience God’s forgiveness (Shelly & Miller, 2006). The recognition of sin and eventual redemption strengthens the relationship with God which directs a life of service to humanity (Shelly & Miller,
how the purpose of it all is the same and that it centers around one God and His love for us.
Jesus is the main point. See him, trust him, admire him, worship him, love him, and follow him.
