Gilbert House Fellowship #421: 1 Enoch 1

THE BOOK OF 1 ENOCH has become a source of controversy among Christians. Regardless of your view of the book, it’s undeniable that it was known to the apostles and the early church, who generally had a favorable view of it. On the one hand, 1 Enoch is not in the Bible. There are good reasons for that; there are internal contradictions and details that are contrary to scripture. We agree with the early church, which, guided by the Holy Spirit, excluded 1 Enoch from the canon of scripture (except ...

Gilbert House Fellowship #420: Proverbs 22–23

WE CONCLUDE a section of the sayings of Solomon and move into a section of Proverbs attributed to wise men in general. This week, the focus is on the blessings that come from listening to instruction, raising our children to love one another and fear God, avoid gluttony, drunkenness and sloth, and not envying the possessions (or spouses) of others. Here's a link to an online text of the Book of 1 Enoch , translated by R. H. Charles and published in 1917. We'll begin a study of 1 Enoch next week,...

Gilbert House Fellowship #419: Proverbs 21

THE SPIRITS of the giants destroyed by the Flood were venerated by the Amorites who dominated the culture around ancient Israel. The Hebrew prophets and psalmists condemned the cult of the dead, but you have to know what you’re looking for to find those scriptures. We find one of them in Proverbs 21: The man that wandereth out of the way of wisdom shall abide in the congregation of the dead. (KJV) One who wanders from the way of good sense will rest in the assembly of the dead. (ESV) The word tr...

Gilbert House Fellowship #418: Proverbs 20

THE FIRST VERSE of Proverbs 20 expresses a truth we’ve all seen at least once: Drunkenness leads to bad behavior. But there’s more to it. In the Semitic world around ancient Israel, pagans practiced a ritual called marzeah, referenced in Amos 6:7, that was apparently intended to induce an altered state of consciousness to allow participants to communicate with the spirits of the dead—which were actually the demonic spirits of the Nephilim destroyed in the Flood. We also discuss verses related to...

Gilbert House Fellowship #417: Proverbs 18–19

THE DANGER OF acting without thinking is a theme that runs through this week’s study in the Book of Proverbs. The value of wisdom and prudence is emphasized throughout Proverbs, and the foolishness of pride or trusting in one’s wealth instead of God are repeated throughout these chapters. It may seem repetitious to hear the same concepts again and again, but given that so many of us have failed to learn the lessons Solomon committed to papyrus nearly 3,000 years ago it seems the repetition is ne...

Gilbert House Fellowship #416: Proverbs 16–17

WE WOULD save ourselves a lot of trouble if we were slower to anger, slower to speak, and a more worried about pleasing God than others. The theme of this week’s study, which echoes those since we began our dive into the Book of Proverbs, is that wisdom, patience, forgiveness, and willingness to accept advice and correction will go a long way towards making life happier and more fulfilling. And, of course, all of it is grounded in a healthy fear and respect for our Creator. Here’s the link to De...

Gilbert House Fellowship #415: Proverbs 15

THE WISDOM of a gentle reply seems especially appropriate in this day of flame wars on social media. If there is a theme to Proverbs 15, it is that we do well to think before we speak (or post) and be open to correction. We also discuss a verse that, taken in context with other verses in the Old Testament, suggests a link between Abaddon and Tartarus: Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD; how much more the hearts of the children of man! Proverbs 15:11 (ESV) In short, we think Abaddon is to...

Gilbert House Fellowship #414: Proverbs 14

LEANING ON OUR OWN understanding is a recipe for disaster. We continue with the theme of the importance of wisdom and willingness to receive correction, summarized in this verse: There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. (Prov. 14:12, ESV) We also discuss grief and its place in the human experience. Until Christ returns, pain will be a part of our journey. It’s a consequence of our fallen world, but it also helps us grow and truly appreciate joy. Sharon’s niece, ...

Gilbert House Fellowship #413: Proverbs 12–13

THE WISDOM of receiving instruction and correction is the theme of the proverbs in this week’s study. Warnings of the dire consequences of ignoring discipline, advice, and direction are repeated throughout these two chapters, with an emphasis on the need for parents to instruct their children—and for children to listen and follow the guidance of their fathers and mothers.
