Me: Your friend looks like he’s ridin’ the gravy train on biscuit wheels.
Prodigal: He is doing well for himself.
Me: Here is some advice anyway.
This is from the book Elijah: A Man of Heroism and Humility by Charles Swindoll
“Lord, today I want to do what You say regarding contentment; I want to have a calm and gentle spirit. I don’t simply want to call myself a Christian. I want to be known as a genuine servant of God because my life demonstrates the truth I say I believe. Help me this day to face everything and deal with everyone with a gentle and quiet spirit. Help me be content, even though I don’t get things my way.”
1 Kings 18:21
And Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Ball, follow him.” But the people did not answer him a word.

Prodigal: Look what I bought.
Me: You might as well keep your money near an open window on a windy day.
Prodigal: Maybe something will come out of my investment.
Me: Time will tell.
This is from the book All of Grace by C.H. Spurgeon
Almost all that you and I know has come to us by faith. A scientific discovery has been made, and we are sure of it. On what grounds do we believe it? On the authority of certain well-known men of learning whose reputations are established. We have never made or seen their experiments, but we believe their witness. You must do the same with regard to Jesus. Because He teaches you certain truths, you are to be His disciples and believe His words. Because He has performed certain acts, you are to be His clients and trust yourselves with Him. He is infinitely superior to you and presents Himself to you as your Master and Lord. If you will receive Him and His words, you will be saved.
When we were yet without strength in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:6

Me: That was some shindig at your place!
Prodigal: We know how to ham it up…
Me: Lol, so funny. Let me share before another bad joke is started.
This is from the book The Revolution That Changed the World by Dr. David Jeremiah
Some Christians virtually ignore the Old Testament, thinking the New Testament renders it irrelevant. This is a mistake. We lean the human story-who we are and why we need redemption–by reading the Old Testament. The Old Testament reveals the origin of humankind, the nature of sin, the result of disobedience, the character of God, and his unfolding purpose. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is that the Old Testament reveals Christ through hundreds of specific prophecies about his life and death. As the adage says, “The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed; the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed.
Psalm 2:1-2
Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans? The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one.
