Proverbs 6 – False Witness Who Pours Out Lies
According to Proverbs 6:16-19, the sixth thing the Lord hates is “a false witness who pours out lies.” That leads Nim to talk about others being “gossipy.” Do you gossip about others or tell stories that aren’t 100% true? Read Proverbs now and pray for God’s forgiveness and ask Him to help you live as he wants you to live:
Proverbs 6:16-19

Nim: No...
Con: Then you're the gossip.

Psalm 131 And Haughty Eyes

Psalm 131
Abby: Huh?
Nim: I'm reading Psalm 131. I've made sure my hearts not proud. I don't concern myself with great matters and I've put my hope in the Lord. But I need to make sure my eyes aren't haughty.
Abby: Nope. Not haughty. They're a little bloodshot. And you've got some crust in the corners.
Nim: Hey!!!

The Great Commission
Abby makes the mistake of asking Nim to tell her a Bible story. Get ready for Nim’s version of The Great Commission. You can read the actual account of The Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20.
Matthew 28:16-20
Nim: Okay. A-hem! Jesus told his Apostles to go out and disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. But Thomas raised his hand and asked, "What do we get out of this?" And Jesus said "7 percent on a sliding scale."
Abby: What the...?
Nim: And that's what's known as "The Great Commission."
Abby: It is not!
The Great Commission says that all Christians must spread God's Word throughout the world.
James 1:5 And Godly Wisdom
After reading James 1:5 in the Bible, Nim confuses wisdom of God with simply being a genius. Take this time to grab your Bible and check out what it says about wisdom.
James 1:5
Abby: Huh?
Nim: James 1:5 says "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God...and it will be given to him." I asked, therefore I'm now a true brainiac.
Abby: Don't you think you're being a little...
Nim: SILENCE! I FEEL A THOUGHT COMING ON!
When the Bible speaks of "Wisdom," it usually means wisdom about God and Salvation.
