Hi and welcome. Ashfield Baptist Church is a "caring community church sharing God's love". We are very diverse in our nationalities, backgrounds and ages, but united in our desire to grow spiritually and to reach out and help others. Our vision is "to be a body of Christ-like people living out the great commandment and the great commission in the Holy Spirit's power". This blog is mainly for people connected with Ashfield Baptist Church. It has been set up as an "info & chat space" as we start the "THRU IN 2" challenge. This is our program for reading the Bible right through during 2007 & 2008. Many are using the Every Day With Jesus Bible which also has daily devotions from Selwyn Hughes. As we read through the Bible together over these two years, we can use this blog to share insights, stories, reflections, questions etc. The goal is to grow spiritually together. So leave your comments. Together we can help each other grow. Blessings. Ps John.

These great proverbs are a classic example of Jewish parallelism, common in Jewish poetry, where an idea is immediately repeated in a different way.
11:1 God hates rip-offs, but loves honesty.
11:2 Pride leads to disgrace, but humility leads to wisdom.
11:3 Your integrity will guide you, but your treachery will destroy you.
11:4 In the end, wealth can't help, but righteousness rescues.
So be a person of honesty, humility and righteousness. It's the wise way to live.
