Fighting “Flashy” Things
Proverbs 22:6

Proverbs 22:1–6
In the 1960s-era TV series The Andy Griffith Show, a man tells Andy he should let his son Opie decide how he wants to live. Andy disagrees: “You can’t let a young’un decide for himself. He’ll grab at the first flashy thing with shiny ribbons on it. Then, when he finds out there’s a hook in it, it’s too late. Wrong ideas come packaged with so much glitter that it’s hard to convince them that other things might be better in the long run.” He concludes that it’s important for parents to model right behavior and help “keep temptation away.”

Andy’s words are related to the wisdom found in Proverbs: “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it” (22:6). Although many may read these words as a promise, they're really a guide. All of us are called to make our own decision to believe in Jesus. But we can help lay a biblical foundation through our love for God and Scripture. And we can pray that as the little ones under our care mature, they choose to receive Christ as Savior and walk in His ways and not “in the paths of the wicked” (v. 5).

Our own victory over “flashy things” through the Holy Spirit’s enabling is also powerful testimony. Jesus’ Spirit helps us to withstand temptation and molds our lives into examples worth imitating.

Hey friends,

I wanted to mention a great podcast that is related to this podcast. It's called "5 Minute Mayberry Devotional" and is hosted by my friend Brian Rose. He's doing several episodes at this point and is doing them weekly. I think it's something you would really enjoy. -- Allan

The Way Back to Mayberry: Lessons From a Simpler Time by Joey Fann (co-creator of the popular Finding the Way Back to Mayberry Bible Study Class)

This book's 30+ chapters (each focusing on a favorite Mayberry episode) so special is the deeply personal and meaningful way that Joey Fann uses humor, sincerity, and sound reason to draw together lessons from Biblical Scripture, events in Mayberry, and elements and actions in his own life.

Mayberry Bible Study Podcast: High Noon in Mayberry

This is our pilot episode of the Mayberry Bible Study Podcast. I hope you enjoy your visit to Mayberry and grow at least a little bit in your walk to be more like Christ as well. I know that ANY study of God’s word is helpful so even a study inspired by The Andy Griffith Show can be used by Him.

Lesson Introduction:

Luke Comstock, an ex-con, returns to Mayberry to see Andy about him having shot Luke in the leg during a robbery years ago. It crippled him and sent him to prison. Barney is convinced that Comstock is seeking revenge so he overreacts a little. Barney’s paranoia then spreads to Gomer, Otis, Aunt Bee, and Opie. Along with faith and courage, this episode also looks at repentance and forgiveness.

Lesson Points:

Worry or Faith – (Psalm 23:4, Matthew 6:27)
Fear or Courage – (Joshua 1:9, Hebrews 13:6)
Revenge or Forgiveness – (Romans 12:17-19)
