09-21-2026 PART 1: When the World Gets Louder, Listen for Wisdom

Section 1

Dishonest gain carries a price far greater than whatever money someone manages to obtain. Proverbs warns that those who pursue profit through deception are actually setting an ambush for themselves and creating a pathway toward destruction. Dr. Dave emphasizes that this principle applies to everyone, not merely wealthy people or powerful organizations. Taking money that does not rightfully belong to us, manipulating circumstances for compensation, or intentionally cheating others plants destructive seeds within our own lives. Scripture repeatedly shows God’s hatred of dishonest scales and unfair dealings. Legitimately earning wages is honorable; exploiting people or systems is entirely different. If dishonesty belongs to the past, forgiveness is available, but believers should move forward handling money with integrity and remembering that everything ultimately belongs to God.

Section 2

Amid the confusion of the public square, Proverbs presents wisdom doing something remarkable: calling loudly enough to be heard above the commotion. Dr. Dave describes a world saturated with competing voices, arguments, rumors, distractions, and claims of truth, making it essential for Christians to carefully examine their information diet. Simply hearing something repeatedly does not make it true. While worldly voices make promises that continually change or fail, God’s wisdom offers something enduring—direction for living with genuine purpose and meaning. His promises are not empty, and His truth does not fluctuate according to popularity. God continues calling people away from confusion and toward life, but believers must deliberately listen. What we continually allow into our minds will influence how we think, what we believe, and ultimately how we live.

Section 3

Solomon identifies three dangerous responses to wisdom: the foolish love remaining ignorant, mockers enjoy tearing others down, and fools reject knowledge. None of those attitudes belong in the life of someone seeking God. Christians should desire growth rather than ignorance, refuse to celebrate another person’s failure, and pursue biblical truth instead of allowing culture to determine reality. Jesus declared Himself to be the way, the truth, the life, and the light of the world, establishing an unchanging foundation in a culture where standards continually move. The answer is not becoming consumed with every argument surrounding us but putting God’s kingdom first. Relationships, possessions, accomplishments, and earthly priorities eventually lose their importance before eternity; what we did with God’s kingdom will not. The world lets truth shift with feelings; God calls us to stand in truth that never shifts at all.

Profile picture for David Spoon

David Spoon

David Spoon was born and raised in a Jewish home in Detroit, Michigan. He attended a private Hebrew school called Hillel Hebrew Academy. David was bar mitzvah-ed at the age of thirteen. Not long after, he was involved in drug abuse and trafficking. After hearing the Gospel for the first time at age seventeen, David accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. A few months later, David had a dramatic experience with God. Immediately set free from years of excessive drug use, he committed himself to ministry and to furthering the Kingdom of God.

He attended Arizona Bible College, Northern Arizona University, and Life Pacific College, graduating summa-cum-laude in their Ministry and Leadership program. He also graduated with honors from Regent University with a master’s degree in Theological Studies and earned his Doctor of Ministry degree in Strategic Christian Ministry at Liberty University.

He is one of a few individuals holding ministerial ordinations from three separate denominations: Heritage Free Baptist Organization, 1981; Independent Pentecostal Ministers Association, 1985; and Vineyard Valley Association, 1988. He was also the Chaplain for the Flagstaff Police Department. In addition, David was the senior pastor of Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Flagstaff.

In addition, David started and co-hosted two different live Christian call-in radio talk shows. He hosted the very popular radio show “The David Spoon Experience” on KPRZ 1210 and a show called “To Know Him,” which aired on 88.9 on the F.M. dial-in Temecula, California at 1:00 p.m., Monday through Fridays. He was also the Director of Local Ministry for Salem Media Group in San Diego, California.

David is married to his best friend, Noelle. He has three children and seven grandchildren, plus their two dogs named Levi and Bert. On March 18th, 2019, he started “The David Spoon Experience” in Texas and is growing with his audience of awesome believers and non-believers alike.

He is the President of He Must Increase Ministry, a 501c3 ministry, and is hosting (again) the live daily radio show “The David Spoon Experience” with DJR Broadcasting in KAAM, on the 770 A.M. radio dial. The show is also on various apps and the Internet.

David is a Jewish-Christian, Bapti-Costal, Cal-Minian, Manifold Millennialist.
