The leech has two daughters (Proverbs 30:15)

The leech has two daughters—
Give and Give!

There are three things that are never satisfied,
Four never say, “Enough!”:

The grave,
The barren womb,
The earth that is not satisfied with water—
And the fire never says, “Enough!”

The eye that mocks his father,
And scorns obedience to his mother,
The ravens of the valley will pick it out,
And the young eagles will eat it.

(Proverbs 30:15-17)

There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes

Do not malign a servant to his master,
Lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.

There is a generation that curses its father,
And does not bless its mother.

There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,
Yet is not washed from its filthiness.

There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes!
And their eyelids are lifted up.

here is a generation whose teeth are like swords,
And whose fangs are like knives,
To devour the poor from off the earth,
And the needy from among men.

(Proverbs 30:10-14)

What is His Son’s name, If you know

The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, his utterance. This man declared to Ithiel—to Ithiel and Ucal:

Surely I am more stupid than any man,
And do not have the understanding of a man.

I neither learned wisdom
Nor have knowledge of the Holy One.

Who has ascended into heaven, or descended?
Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who has bound the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name, and what is His Son’s name,
If you know?

“The tragedy is that AA becomes the new addiction”

I have looked at the 12 Steps program closely, and have discussed it with many who are in AA. The tragedy is that AA becomes the new addiction. I have talked with people who say they are Christians and that they are trusting Christ for eternity, yet they cannot trust Him to keep them off alcohol during this life. They are desperately afraid to leave AA, because they believe it is only through AA that they can stay dry. So AA actually keeps them from the true deliverance, freedom, and joy they could know through Christ! According to AA, you are always a recovering alcoholic—never recovered. That isn’t biblical. Christ cures, heals, saves, delivers. –Dave Hunt

“Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.” (Acts 3:6)
