Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 29:25-26

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 29:25-26SAFETY FROM A SNAREI. Men fear and hope too much from their fellow men. This fear and this hope are very active agents in this world, influencing men often to abstain from what they know to be right, and inducing them to do deeds of evil. Good men have often staggered and sometimes fallen before this fear and have been misled by this false hope, and both the hope and the fear are intensified when the object of them belongs to the ranks of the conventually... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:18

Proverbs 29:18 I. If we did not belong to two worlds that is, if we had not two very distinct natures we should of course be utterly insusceptible to the vision of a higher, purer world than this. But because the physical man enshrines an inner man, the world of spirits can just as clearly be demonstrated to us as this world is demonstrated to our senses. Whether the opening up of communication between our spirit and the spirit-world will be during our earth life remains with God. But it is a... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:25

Proverbs 29:25 This has been proved to be true: (1) in the profession of Christianity; (2) in protesting against personal and social evils; (3) in attempting service on behalf of Christ; (4) in the proposition of new lines of thought. The fear of man produces three effects upon the sufferer: (1) loss of self-control; (2) modification of emphasis; (3) deepening of selfishness. Parker, City Temple, vol. i., p. 62. References: Proverbs 29:25 . Spurgeon, My Sermon Notes: Genesis to Proverbs, p.... read more

DISCOURSE: 820DANGER OF OBSTINACY IN SINProverbs 29:1. He that being often reproved, hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.AWFUL, most awful, is this declaration; yet is it most salutary, and worthy of the deepest attention. Many indeed imagine that it is suited only to the dispensation of the Law: but it is no less suited to us under the Gospel. The Gospel does not consist of promises only, but of threatenings also: and St. Paul himself tells us, that “the... read more

DISCOURSE: 821THE IMPORTANCE OF GOSPEL MINISTRATIONSProverbs 29:18. Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the Law, happy is he [Note: This brief sketch is given as an useful subject for a Mission Sermon. The contrast between Heathens in an ignorant and in a converted state would be very striking.].THROUGHOUT the whole Scriptures, we have one unvaried testimony respecting man. We see, in every part,I.The deplorable state of those who know not the Gospel—Revelations to... read more

DISCOURSE: 822THE FEAR OF MANProverbs 29:25. The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.OUR blessed Lord, at the very first introduction of his religion into the world, told his followers, that he was not come to send peace on earth, but a sword, and to set at variance with each other the nearest and dearest relatives. We are not however to suppose that this was the proper end of his religion: it was not the end, but the effect: and it is, and must... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:1-27

Chapter 29He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy ( Proverbs 29:1 ).That is a heavy, heavy proverb. The person that is often reproved by God. How many times God has reproved you for your evil. God has reproved you for your sin. And you've hardened your heart to God's reproof. You go right back into the same thing. You do it over again. And God has reproved you. He, that being often reproved, you begin to harden your heart against... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 29:1-27

Proverbs 29:1 . He that being often reproved, hardeneth his neck. The Greeks have a similar proverb. Οι πολλα πταιοντες και μη κολαζομενοι φοβεισθαι και δεδοικεναι οφειλουοιν . Αυξεται γαρ αυτοις τα τες τιμοριας δια τες ατιμωρησιας . He who often offends, and is not punished, ought to fear that his punishment augments by the delay of justice. Aged and hardened sinners should remember this; it is the voice of philosophy, the voice of the bible, the voice of God. Some men after smarting for a... read more
