Proverbs 9:9

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. Being teachable is the foundation of spiritual growth and Christian character-building. Having a teachable spirit means having the mindset of a lifelong learner. Regardless of age, those who grow in their spirituality and understanding of God are those who never tire of learning. Whenever I put in even the smallest amount of effort to get through or achieve a goal; when I don’t ask questions, I don’t ask for advice, I don’t try […]

Proverbs 8:10

Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold. After John Paul Getty told him that he refuses to pay the ransom for the life of his kidnapped grandson, because he has no “extra” money to spend, the mysterious Fletcher Chase asked him – “How much more do you need to be sure?” “More,” answered, perhaps at that moment, the richest man in the world. All this happens in the movie All the Money in the World, which is the story of the kidnapping of the grandson of John Paul Getty, an […]

Proverbs 7:4

Love wisdom like a sister; make insight a beloved member of your family. Proverbs 7:4 “If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.” (James 3:13) Wisdom and prudence, according to the teaching of the apostle James, is manifested in the totality of life, and not in the inspiration of the moment. Almost everyone can surprise us with an insightful thought during a conversation or good advice in a moment of crisis, which is also desirable, necessary, and good. […]

Proverbs 6:27-28

Can a man scoop a flame into his lap and not have his clothes catch on fire? Can he walk on hot coals and not blister his feet? “Don’t play with fire” – my grandmother used to tell me. Fire is one of the most important natural phenomena that man has partially tamed, which greatly contributed to the faster development of mankind. When used correctly, fire is a great blessing, but it is disastrous when it is ‘played’ with it. The context in which these two sayings are found indicates that something similar happens with […]

Seek and you will find

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 We are all looking for something and we all have some expectations: we want to be happy, successful in our private and professional life, healthy, etc. What are you looking for? We often think that we need to take care of many things in order to be satisfied and fulfilled. Or we expect something to happen or that our circumstances change, thinking that our satisfaction and fulfillment depend on them. But God wants to […]

Your Kingdom Come

2023 was declared the “Year of Prayer” in the Evangelical Church in Bosnia and Herzegovina under “Your Kingdom Come”. The whole year will be marked by different prayer events and activities with which we want to fill our country with prayer, worship, and fellowship.

The first significant event is a two-day prayer conference in Mostar (January 27-28). We joyfully invite you to join us as we bring […]

Proverbs 5:21

For your ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all your paths. Proverbs 5:21″Unfortunately, you have not been arrested.” – said the young Journalist and continued – “We did this just to show that you are doing this.” The camera then focused on the face of the “seller” of the Medical School diploma. Surprise and concern could be seen on his face. Looking into the distance testified to an uncertain future. He thought that no one could see or know.How many times will these and similar crimes happen before and how […]

Proverbs 4:13

Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. Proverbs 4:13 IKEA has taken the world by storm! Modern, unpretentious, and witty product designs accompanied by affordable prices are the main reason for the success of this commercial miracle of modern times. Many do not understand that the reason for the favorable prices lies in the fact that IKEA furniture comes in modules that you can assemble yourself, at home, following the precise and detailed assembly instructions. This “Ready to assemble!” characteristic of IKEA products has become […]

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 These are perhaps the best known verses in all of the book of Proverbs. Yet it’s easy to skim over verses like these when we know them so well. Ask God to give you fresh revelation and understanding of these words today. We are commanded to trust in the Lord with our whole heart, not part of it – yet, somehow much of our […]

Proverbs 2:3-5

If you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and ﬁnd the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:3-5 Children’s imaginations are delightedly captured by the idea of pirates and searching for lost or hidden treasure. There is something magical about the thought of discovering a chest full of gold or rich jewels, becoming instantly rich, having our lives changed in a second. In kids’ ﬁlms, the search is never […]
