Charles Warner|Daily Times The first steps to wisdom So many of us get into trouble because we talk too much, more interested in hearing what we've got to say rather than keeping silent and listening to what God has to say and acting in accordance with what He tells us. When we, first, keep silent in His presence, and, second, listen to what He says and, finally, act on the wisdom and guidance He imparts to us, our lives become truly worth living and our eternities something to look forward to. Union Seventh-Day Adventist Church is located at 1437 Jonesville Highway, Union.
