Summary
Proverbs 28:2 says, “When a nation sins, it has many rulers, but with a man of understanding and much learning, it will last a long time.” John Adams and Alexis de Tocqueville wrote of the importance of moral values for effective governance. Without a moral foundation, chaos prevails. We should pray for our nation's revival and seek God's forgiveness. The potential consequences of America's downfall would impact the world. Let's pray for America, our last hope for freedom from tyranny.

Steve Webb 0:03If you're looking for the Lifespring!, One Year Bible, you've come to the right place. My name is Steve Webb and I'm your OG Godcaster. The website is Lifespringmedia.com. and I'll have contact information at the end of the show today. Before we read, let's pray. Our gracious heavenly Father, we thank you for this time together, we pray that you would touch our hearts and touch our minds. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen. All right, let's begin.
Steve Webb 0:32Proverbs chapter 28, the sinful runaway when no one's trying to catch them, but those who are right with God have as much strength of heart is a lion. When the nation sins, it has many rulers but with a man of understanding and much learning it will last a long time. The poor man who makes it hard for the poor is like a heavy rain which leaves no food.

He who gets money by being paid much for the use of it gathers it for him who will be kind to the poor. He who turns his ear away from listening to the law, even his prayer is a hated thing. He who leads good people into a sinful way will fall into his own deep hole, but good will come to those without blame. The rich man is wise in his own eyes, but the poor man who has understanding sees through him when those who are right with God when there is great honor, but when the sinful rule men hide themselves, it will not go well for the man who hides his sins, but He who tells his sins and turns from them will be given loving pity. Happy is the man who always fears the Lord. But he who makes his heart hard will fall into trouble with a sinful ruler over poor people is like a lion making noise or a bear running to fight. A ruler who takes much from the people who have little does not have understanding. But he who hates wanting something that belongs to someone else will live a long time. A man who was loaded down with the guilt of human blood will run in fear until death. Let no one help him. He who walks without blame will be kept safe, but he who is sinful will fall all at once. He works his land will have more than enough food,
