2 years ago by mentorleaders Matthew 11:23-24: “And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you that it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.” Capernaum was a great center of religion. There is little doubt that many of Capernaum’s citizens thought that their city enjoyed God’s approval. Christ’s mighty works only served to reinforce this notion, as the people witnessed God’s blessings wherever…
2 years ago by mentorleaders Matthew 11:20-22: “Then he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. ‘Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.’” Like those unrepentant cities, you have been witness to God’s mighty works all your life. If you haven’t been attentive to Wisdom’s daily…
2 years ago by mentorleaders Proverbs 8:35-36: “For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord, but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death.” It is important that you do not confuse God’s eternal promises with temporal benefits. Finding Wisdom and accepting Christ delivers you from eternal injury, allowing you to avoid spiritual death. The “favor from the Lord” mentioned here is also eternal in nature. God’s eternal favor will be given you when He looks into the Book of Life on judgment day and finds your name written there. Then, He will gather you,…
2 years ago by mentorleaders Proverbs 8:32-34: “And now, O sons, listen to me: blessed are those who keep my ways. Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it. Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors.” We cannot overcome the impediment of original sin in our nature. When Adam made the conscious decision to disobey God, he put a permanent stain on all humanity. That includes you. You don’t have the strength to change your nature. No matter how resolute you are, you won’t be able to maintain a pure lifestyle. Sooner or…
2 years ago by mentorleaders In a country influenced by poverty, voodoo practice, and a long history of oppression, there is a thirst for hope. Here at Mentor Leaders, we know the hope they long for is only found at the feet of Jesus. This summer, we want to share this hope with the village of Giotin, Haiti. We are looking for individuals who share in this desire to give hope through the Gospel. If you are interested in traveling with us, start your application at www.mentorleaders.org/why-go/ or email Hannah at hannah @mentorleaders .org with your questions!
2 years ago by mentorleaders Proverbs 8:27-31: “When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside him, like a master workman, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the children of man.” Do you believe God created the heaven…

2 years ago by mentorleaders Proverbs 8:22-26: “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth, before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world.” What do you consider “conventional” wisdom? All of us have things we assume to be true, even if…
2 years ago by mentorleaders Proverbs 8:18-21: “Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of justice, granting an inheritance to those who love me, and filling their treasuries.” Many seek political leadership positions for the power, fame and riches they bring. Some believers who start out with good intentions of being godly leaders end up corrupted by these worldly temptations. It is never too late to repent, however, and turn back to Wisdom’s way. The fruit of…
2 years ago by mentorleaders Proverbs 8:15-17: “By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just; by me princes rule, and nobles, all who govern justly. I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.” Leaders who rely on God for their direction and Wisdom end up ruling justly. They are not always the most popular leaders, because they make their decisions and take actions in the name of Christ. In many of today’s communities, leaders who are outspoken Christians receive criticism for their “intolerant” views and values. Each leader must constantly seek Wisdom in order to stay on…

2 years ago by mentorleaders Proverbs 8:12-14: “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion. The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. I have counsel and sound wisdom; I have insight; I have strength.” Popular culture tells you the Bible is outdated, archaic, unenlightened and irrelevant. You will be told you are naïve to think there is a loving God watching over you. Every day, you are bombarded by purveyors of the lies of evolution, chipping away at the reliability of God’s Word. Believers are lambasted for…
