TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Morning Manna - October 8, 2025 - Proverbs 14:6-7 - Leaving the Fool, Finding True Wisdom

Episode Date: October 8, 2025

In today’s Morning Manna, we look at Proverbs 14:6–7, where Solomon teaches that scoffers may seek wisdom but never find it, while knowledge is readily accessible to the humble and understanding. The wise are also called to separate themselves from the foolish, for where there is no knowledge in the lips, there is no profit in staying. These verses remind us that pride blocks the path to truth, but humility and discernment open the door to God’s wisdom. Teachers: Rick Wiles and Doc BurkhartYou can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.MEGA FIRE reveals the ancient recurring cycles of war and economic collapse that have shaped history for 600 years.

Good morning, everybody. Welcome to morning, Manna. We're delighted to have you here to study the Word of God for one hour. That makes you a very extraordinary person to set aside one hour, five days a week, to study the Word of God. There are very few Christians in the world who do what you're doing, and you need to be commended. So we are working our way through the book of Proverbs. We've been in Proverbs for months, and we've got months, to go. We are in the 14th chapter, and today we're looking in verses 6 through 10. Let's invite the Holy Spirit. Then Dr. Raymond Burkhart's going to read the Word of God, and he and I are going to expound on it verse by verse. Almighty God, our dear Father in heaven. Father, thank you for this

beautiful day. Thank you for being our Father. Lord, we ask for the presence of your Holy Spirit to instruct us in this class. So Holy Spirit, take your seat at the head of the table and lead this morning manna class so that we all come to know Jesus Christ and His kingdom and your word even deeper and richer than we knew yesterday. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. And welcome to morning manna, no matter where you are in the world. and we do have classmates all over the world for those of you who are new to our Bible study. We have people that check in as far away as Russia and Australia and Japan and Malaysia and Brazil and of course all across the U.S. and Canada that join us together each weekday morning at 8 o'clock

to study the Word of God together. And we welcome you. If this is your first time or your first time in a long time, welcome back. And we are very excited to have you here today. We are in Proverbs chapter 14 today, and the focus of our reading today is going to be verses 6 through 10, 6 through 10. And we're right in the middle of a section of Proverbs, Proverbs 13, 14, and 15, which are chapters of contrast and chapters of practical wisdom. So you see a similar theme going all through these three chapters, as if they were written together. as a possible standalone volume at some point so if you've got your bibles let's pick back

up proverbs 14 versus 6 to 10 i'm reading from the king james this morning a scorner seeketh wisdom and findeth it not but knowledge is easy unto him that understand go from the presence of a foolish man when thou perceive us not in him the lips of knowledge man i could have used that many times in the past the wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, but the folly of fools is deceit. Fools make a mock at sin, but among the righteous there is favor. And then verse 10, the heart knoweth his own bitterness, and a stranger doth not enter meddle with his joy.

God bless the reading of the word. It's a good set of verses. Well, the second part, of verse 6 applies to the morning manna class as I was saying in our opening you were to be commended for spending

five days a week, one hour each day seeking knowledge about the word of God. Now here's what I mean. King James Version says a scorner seeketh wisdom and find it not. Well that's not you. You're in the

second part but knowledge is easy unto him that understand it. The Septuagint translation says, A scorner seeks wisdom and finds it not, but to the man of understanding, knowledge is easy. You're going to be blessed.

The morning manna class is going to be blessed just by understanding verse six. Let's start with the scorner. The scorner is not somebody who is just ignorant. It goes far beyond ignorant. This is not talking about somebody who is ignorant of the Word of God. This is a person who is contemptuous of the Word of God. Contemptuous of divine truth.

This person, his or her mind, inquire may actually read religious books from time to time just out of intellectual curiosity but his or her heart rebels against the truth that's the scorner to seek wisdom and says the scorner the scorner the moker the mokker seeks wisdom and doesn't find it. They actually seek wisdom. And they'll say, yes, I've read, I've read some of the Bible, but I've also read some Hindu books and Buddhist books. And I've read the Talmud and I've read, you know, I'm an intellectual person.

I am seeking wisdom. sounds good doesn't it oh it sounds so good so broad-minded so inclusive but it's a superficial curiosity here's why it's a quest for wisdom without submission this is a person who desires information without transformation. I seek the wisdom, I seek the information, but don't change me. Well, the word requires you to submit.

And the word, once it gets inside of you, changes you. It transforms you. The scoffer, the mocker, refuses, rebells against a transformation. it says no I like me as I am and I'm not interested in submitting to some God they'll seek wisdom but refuse change yes but not submit to the source of wisdom right wisdom on their terms wisdom for their benefit biblical wisdom which is the only wisdom is moral before it is intellectual therefore a man or woman cannot find it

because his or her pride blocks perception of it yes you've made a good point there right without morality that comes from the word of god the law of god wisdom has a little value I mean, you know, there are lots of books on wisdom. I mean, you can go to the local bookstore, if you can find a bookstore that's still open nowadays. And what's the biggest section in every bookstore, Rick? The biggest section, self-improve. Help, self-improvement. You would figure with all the books that have been written on self-help and self-improvement,

we'd be pretty good, wouldn't we? We'd be great. but the fact of the matter is the heart of man is what the problem is that's right it's not you're not for yeah it's not so much for lack of wisdom even though people do lack wisdom but without the foundation of morality which can only come from god all from god alone wisdom is like eating icing without the cake okay it's good but there's no substance to it that's And so that's why it's important for us when we study the Word of God, that even though it does have value with instruction and understanding, the first thing wisdom teaches, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. That's the very foundation of wisdom, fear of God.

And to fear God, you have to be in awe of him. You have to be submitted to Him. You have to understand that there's a black and white, that there's a heaven and hell, that there's a right and wrong. And that only comes by fear in God. So you can't really have true wisdom without first submitting to God in your life. That's right. And so, Doc, what this verse is telling us is that the proud man or woman who has a rebellious heart, that rebellion can be covered up and mask.

They may look and talk and smell so pretty. but inside the rebellious towards God and they might have it mask and covered up they got makeup on it it's hard to sometimes to see it but the Holy Spirit sees it what this is telling us that that's such a man or woman who has pride and rebellion

in his or her heart cannot find wisdom right it's impossible they're seeking it yet they cannot find it it's their pride and rebellion that blocks them from receiving and finding the very thing they're seeking this doesn't say that they're not seeking wisdom they are seeking wisdom but god doesn't allow them to find it there you go yes see that's what this means god doesn't allow them to find the wisdom James 4, verse 6, says that God himself resists the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.

Amen. So wisdom is hidden from the proud and rebellious. It's God who hides it. He desires them to have it, but not on their terms. That's what it comes down to. On whose terms? That's where the pride and rebellion comes in. We usually have people who,

I know I'm thinking of people right now. Who will go to hell before they will submit to God. Yeah. Unfortunately, some of them are in the church too. Yes. We all know people like this. They will go to hell before they submit to Christ. like what are you doing

but that's the pride and rebellion in them that simply says I'm not giving up myself self is the problem you talked about self-improvement books in Christian literature it's your self-can't be

improved. Your self can only be submitted. Amen. The problem isn't that your self is lacking improvement. The problem is yourself has not submitted to Christ. You don't become, you don't improve yourself. They become more like Jesus. I've told you that in the past.

You know, for years and years and years, I heard preachers say, Rick, you've got to become more like Jesus. And I try, and I try, and I tried. Kind of like, I can't be like Jesus. You know, I get up in the morning, I'm going to be like Jesus. And by noon, I was like Rick. It's like, I can't win. I can't.

What's wrong? Why are these other guys? Why are they like Jesus? And I'm not. Then I found out that it was a facade. that they had. They had a facade. They were really

in real life. They were just like themselves. There came a time when the Lord showed me, you're not going to improve yourself. All you can do is increasingly submit to my son. You will change as my son has more

authority and control and influence in your life. I'm not getting better Jesus is just getting more of me that's when you will see change in your life stop trying to change other people in your life relatives marriage partners children

stop trying to change them you can't do it you cannot change them only the Holy Spirit can change him and he will only do it if they submit to him and if they resist him he will resist them God gives grace to the humble so the fool's failure to find wisdom is not for lack of seeking it's for lack of reverence

he seeks wisdom on his or her own terms and seeks it in vain now this next part's about you the morning morning manna class knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth it's just it's just flowing to you

knowledge is coming easy to you why because you understand why do you understand because you have a humble heart and you desire to be taught and god now says i'm giving you grace grace to receive wisdom you can't get wisdom without god's grace you can't get anything without god's grace anything is worthwhile i pray every morning before morning manna class I pray for God's anointing and inspiration to be on Doc in me to teach the word, but I pray for God's grace to be on you to hear and receive the word. So the word here means when it says easy.

It really is talking about, it's not simplicity, it's talking about accessibility. knowledge is accessible King James says it's easy it's accessible knowledge is accessible knowledge flows naturally to the man or woman whose heart is right with God

discerning learns not by greater mental intellect but by greater humility discernment opens up your perception Amen Truth yields itself to a receptive

soul if you desire more wisdom and more understanding and more discernment humble yourself more before God he sends the grace to receive it Amen. Doc, this is a revelation in learning.

Doc, in Bible college, you have several degrees, including a doctorate. Maybe you're going to say, yes, Rick, it was taught to me. Did any professor ever teach you that the way for you to know more about God in the Bible was not through study? and diligence and studying, but by submitting yourself to God? Not directly taught. You know, I've seen examples of it taught through the lives of professors and everything. Yes, but as a principal. No.

It would kind of defeat the purpose of going to college. Exactly. Okay. So, verse 6 is telling us, the more you submit to God the more he opens your heart and mind to receive wisdom yes

and knowledge and discernment our human reasoning says I've got to go to college I've got to study I've got to read I've got to stay up late at night in these books this is the way to gain knowledge knowledge.

Right. And there's nothing wrong with that. We're doing it, okay? But that's not the formula. There's value in that. However, the greater value is in submitting to the Lord. That's the greater value. And I wish that that had been taught as a course.

You know, just submission. But you know what? Really, the only way you learn submission is through the School of Hard Knocks. and the school colors are black and blue that's right so because we our nature is not to submit our nature is to rebel our nature is to disobey and so we have to go against that you know inbred human nature of ours and choose to submit every knee shall bow I choose to bow now rather than later amen so a repeated spiritual discernment opens perception in your mind and heart truth yields itself to a receptive soul

and this contrast exposes the moral condition of reason itself the mind is either illuminated by humility or darkened by pride understanding understanding is not achieved by speculation by reasoning it's received through submission what is understanding it's the practical knowledge

of applying wisdom to daily life again we think well if we if we meditate on this and think about it and talk about it We'll figure this out. But what this verse is saying is that no understanding comes through submission to God. It's a gift of grace.

Doc, I just keep learning more about grace. That spiritual comprehension is a gift of grace. It's not a triumph of human will. Hey, look at me. I got this degree. No. It's you saying I have submitted to God and I have I have spiritual comprehension of the Word of God, the kingdom of God, and it came to me as a gift of grace. That's why sometimes, you know, I think about it in my early days of being a Christian, you know, some of the, I don't call them hillbilly churches.

They were country-fied churches, okay. You got to remember, I grew up in Western Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, South Central Pennsylvania. That's a mountain country, okay? But, Doc, I encountered uneducated preachers who did not have good English, but they knew more. about God than the educated preachers that went to seminary yes had nothing to do with

intellect and and man-made education God's grace had given them knowledge they had trouble verbalizing it because of their limited education see there is a point there's a reason for education your your vocabulary will restrict or or empower you to communicate with others. I'm always, I feel like I have a limited vocabulary. And I should have studied more how to increase my, my vocabulary. See, that's education. And education is good.

but you don't receive wisdom through education. You receive divine wisdom through the gift of grace. So faith precedes understanding. And a proud mind cannot find wisdom because it refuses to go to the starting point, the fear of the Lord. That's the problem. they want to go they want to bypass the starting point the fear of the lord

the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom the proud man or woman can't go there because that requires submission so it's not human intellect that that blinds people it's their will the arrogant person or say the scorner the scorner the mocker his or her search for wisdom is blocked by their own arrogance and pride but the wise doesn't necessarily mean educated the wise who are humble and broken and contrite and submitted to God living in reverent harmony with the Lord

they find wisdom and knowledge and understanding to be easy it's not effortless but it's graciously natural it's like light entering a window. It just comes through. That's what this is teaching.

When you humble before the Lord, the light of wisdom will just come through the window. You don't have to open a window to let the sunlight come in. It comes through the glass. It's effortlessly. Remember what Jesus said, Matthew chapter 11, verse 25. He thanked his father in heaven. Listen to what he said.

Thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent and has revealed them unto babes. Jesus said, you, father, you have hidden things, spiritual things, from these wise and prudent, arrogant men standing here. But these little babies, babies you you've revealed under these children truth so wisdom is not withheld from people it's from mockery the scorner the arrogant the proud the proud they see

without finding. But the humble, the broken, the contrite heart, those who walk in the fear of the Lord, truth just comes to them without striving. Let's look at commentators, Matthew Henry, he that scorns instruction will never find wisdom, for he looks for it in a wrong way with a wrong heart knowledge is easy to him that is humble and willing to be taught charles bridges how can the proud find what they despise the spirit of submission opens the eyes while pride seals them in darkness adam clark pride and prejudice are two great barriers against truth the humble find wisdom easy because they seek it in God's appointed way. Albert Barnes.

The scorner's intellect is active, but his heart is corrupt. Wisdom yields not to the irreverent, she opens her treasures to the teachable. Alexander McLaren, wisdom is moral before it is mental. The understanding heart sees the open secret that mocks the clever, scorner's search. Verse seven.

We spent a half hour on first six. Verse seven, go from the presence of a foolish man when thou perceiveth not in him the lips of knowledge. Oh, this is going to change some of you today. this is going to a light's going to come on in some people's heart and mind today you're going to change relationships today you're going to say that's what i needed to hear that that's it right there subtoogen says all things are adverse to a foolish man but wise lives are the weapons of knowledge the world uh i'll see The Pashtida, the Aramaic Paschita, go from before a foolish man when you perceive not in him the words of knowledge.

This is not a command to have contempt for somebody, but discernment. Go from the presence. It means withdrawal. separate, avoid, cease fellowshiping with them. I'm telling me right now, some of you are you going to today say, Lord, thank you. I am going to cut off that relationship. The foolish man here is not talking about a man or woman who is ignorant. But it's a man or woman who is obstinate, stubborn, rebellion, hard-headed, hard, heart-hearted, resistant to divine correction.

You are to cut off your fellowship with that person. It's just that simple. It's not complicated, folks. when you detect a fool go the other direction it's just it's contagious oh doc if I put this

in practice years ago I could have saved so much trouble could prevent it so much trouble amen we all could I'm now at a place where I'm just like I got a big old rubber stamp my fuel tolerance is very low now

yes that's where I'm at very low tolerance for fools okay so this go from before a foolish man the command assumes proximity with you can only go from somebody if you're close to them correct I'm sure if I walk down the street outside my office, I'll find fools. But I'm not close to them. I'd have to go looking for them. But what about in my inner circle of acquaintances? Are there fools?

well if I find one this says go from that person so when you perceive not in him or her the lips of knowledge you are to step back why before their corruption gets inside you that's the reason the principle in this proverb is association with fools breeds participation in foolishness you will eventually start to talk and act foolish yes

verse six just told us scorners cannot find wisdom and verse seven tells us the wise verse seven instructs the wise not to look for wisdom where it does not exist do you get that

verse six says the mockers and the scorners and the fools they'll never find wisdom because God's blocking them and if you find yourself in close proximity of a fool you've got to put

distance between you and the full because you will never find wisdom in their presence. Only foolishness. So this is a practical form of holiness. It's prudence about influence, conversation, shared values. The lips of knowledge are absolutely. absent in fools because the fool's heart is absent from God. Companionship, friendship, association is never neutral. Somebody has your ear.

Somebody is speaking into your life. This verse is telling you, if that person is a fool, Cut it off. Get away from them. Because they're going to damage you. The wise man or woman guards his or her heart by guarding their company. Truth cannot thrive in the presence of mockery of God. The stubborn, the foolish, are mockers of God.

Correct. Some of them may even confess belief in God, but they don't confess submission. You'll never hear that word come out of their mouth. They'll never talk about how God humbled them, how God submitted them. Right. They won't do a seminar. They won't do a seminar on it. that's right so this command the command to depart from fools it implies discernment what

what this means is that wisdom listens long enough to identify a fool then quietly disengages listen to what people are saying when you discern I'm in the presence of a fool excuse yourself and don't go back maybe you work with fools you're going to limit your influence

you get friends who are fools cut it off Psalm 1 verse 1 And blicit is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly. You're blessed when you cut off the relationships with the ungodly. Well, how do we win souls? Well, you share the gospel with them. And if they're rebellious, they'll reject.

And if they're rebellious and reject, walk away. If they're open, then the Holy Spirit is working in that person's life. But you don't go with that person to the places that they go to. You don't do the things that that person does. You can continue to love on that person and share the word as long as their heart is open and they're receiving the word. It means the Holy Spirit is working in them. Right.

But the mocker, the scorner, the proud will cut you off. That's when you know. time to you're not going to convince that person that Christ is Lord yes I know you know there are Christian leaders that do debates with atheists and I'm not going to waste my time debating an atheist why for what purpose just to get attention right it's like trying to baptize a cat Yeah, you're going to get scratched. You're going to get scratched.

Yeah, it doesn't do the cat any good, and the cat doesn't like it. Paul said, Apostle Paul said, evil communications corrupts good manners. That's right. First Corinthians 1533. That's right. So the instruction to separate from fools is not self-righteous, isolation hey I'm better than them right no it this this instruction to you is for the preservation of your soul that's right you are under no obligation to stay in foolish

territory doc this year has been a year in my private life where the Lord has been speaking to me about my my failure over my life to enforce boundaries. He's shown me, I've had a lot of open heart surgery this year. And one of the things he's revealed to me is, Ricky, you're reluctant to set boundaries. And people cross the boundaries and they cause trouble, they hurt you, things happen, you have problems.

Just establish the boundary. And so I've got a different outlook now that there are boundaries and I'm not going to let people push my boundaries. And if you do it enough, you're going to be evicted from my life. Right. So Rick, let me ask you something, and I don't mean to draw us out and lengthen our study. But where do you think the open boundaries idea came from? in your life the whole idea of being open with your boundaries my parents um i had no instruction from my parents i was like a feral cat that's that's hard to imagine but okay

do feral cats have boundaries no they don't they just go wherever they want to and do whatever they want to especially in the middle of the night so we go you know whatever i learned about right and wrong came from my grandparents but i didn't have any boundaries said okay uh because my parents were detached it was like um babies were just the products of sex okay and i got dropped off on earth. Hey, kid, best wishes, hope you do well. So long, sucker. Yeah, that's how I felt that I was treated as a little kid. Like, hey, you're on your own. You figure this out. And so I've always been this super nice guy. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. I want to try to get along with everybody. I'm trying to understand. I came to the point, like, no, I do

understand here so it was a matter of wanting to be accepted yes and and not i don't like confrontation that's a lot of a doc i don't like confrontation i don't like what happens since you don't like it it builds up yes the confrontation happens it's it's huge boundary breakers are seeking confrontation right boundary breakers seek confrontation that's the reason they cross your boundary are you going to enforce your boundary and when you don't enforce it

they just keep coming in closer and closer and then one day you have a confrontation that's what the Lord has shown me doc but Rick if you had dealt with boundaries if you had boundaries and enforced them calmly but firmly you would not have had these various incidents in your life where there was an explosion set the boundaries I hope our classmates are getting an

understanding on this that setting boundaries isn't doesn't mean that you dislike someone doesn't mean that you are trying to harm someone or you're trying to cut somebody out of your life it's just a matter that there's a reason why they put fences around farms, both to keep the cattle in and the predators out. There's a reason for it. And there's a reason for boundaries in the believer's life as well. And so it's to keep the predators out and keep the good things in. Now, Doc, I just had a flashback to Chaldaway. My dad played guitar. Not great, but he did. I just thought of him playing guitar and singing, don't fence me in. for real for real don't fence me in okay well we need fences we really okay so doc from

forth turning understanding my grandparents were gen Xers right they were nomad gen Xers of their generation right okay self-reliant self-reliant uh you figure out your own path yes so but my parents were artists their arch type in the fourth in a fourth turning generational theories they their arch type they would have been artists so free-spirited loss affair whatever and then i'm born as a baby boomer you know which was the profit. Isn't that interesting? The baby boomers, their arch type is profit. Yes. I'm doing fourth turning talk. Okay. Here's what I desire you to understand. Setting spiritual boundaries with the people in your life is not disdain for others. It's not rudeness. It's not meanness. It is an

act of fidelity to God. Correct. You are setting boundaries because of your faithfulness to God. You simply say, I can't associate with that person and remain faithful to God. That solves a lot of relationship problems. Does that person in my life help or hinder my relationship with God? If that person hinders it, cut it off. Some of you are dating people who are going to hurt your soul.

Some of you are friends with people, you associate with them, and they're hurting your walk with God. They absolutely have doing nothing at all to enhance your relationship with God. cut it off truth and foolishness cannot dwell in fellowship go from the presence of the foolish man turn away from his or her folly

turn away from cynics and doubters and scorners and mockers and compromisers and argumentative people. Turn away from them. Their spirits are not of Christ. This also is teaching us that those who fear the Lord must discern when to listen and when to leave. Discerning when to walk away is just as,

as important as discerning knowing when to speak you just walk away you don't have to be mean about it or rude you just say i've enjoyed talking to you but i have to go and you leave you don't have to make an argument hey you're an idiot you're a fool and i'm going to get away no you don't do things that's See, that's foolish. That's not wisdom. Because now you're making an enemy. Correct. You just say,

thank you for your time, but I have to go. It's important. I've got to go. And then he'll go back. What did Christ do when he was in the presence of mockers? He was silent. He just zipped his lips.

He didn't engage with them. Well, I'll tell you, you don't think I'm God. I'll show you I'm God. Jesus never talked like that. You don't think I'm the Christ? Well, let me tell you something. I got news for you. I am the Christ.

No, it was like, you're a mocker. I'm not going to do anything. Except staying here and watch you mock yourself to hell. friendship with the wise leads to life friendships with fools corrods your soul there's nothing else to say about this except john gill depart from him whose mouth is void of grace and truth communion with the wicked is the destruction of knowledge and peace

Charles Bridges When we perceive the want of the lips of knowledge The duty is plain Retire Fellowship with Folly deadens the conscience And dolls the edge of devotion

Albert Barnes Go Not in contempt but in wisdom Moral Association is the soil of character to remain among fools is to partake in their harvest Alexander McLaren there's a time to speak to the fool but there's a time to go from him to abide

when his lips revealed no knowledge is to accept the fellowship of death cool how McLaren he doc he's a hard preacher wasn't he Charles Spurgeon, here's another. He wasn't, no sissy. Depart from the fool before he teaches you his folly. The best way to preserve truth is to avoid its poison. I'm going to introduce a new commentator to you, John Dunlowe. He was an Anglican and a fellow of Queens College in Cambridge, born 1860. passed away in 1909. Brother Daimolo said, the proverb counsel is not pride, but prudence.

To seek knowledge is the company of the profane. Excuse me. To seek knowledge in the company of the profane. Listen to this, Doc. Is to seek honey and ashes. All right. You know what? You know, Doc, I just remembered, today is fire alarm test at 9 a.m.

And we're four minutes from 9. That's correct. I forgot about that. So the building owner is doing a fire alarm test in less than four minutes. So there's no point in me trying to take on any more verses here. We'll pick up with verse 8 tomorrow. Okay. All right.

Well, that kind of wraps up our lesson for today. Like Rick said, we have to kind of ease out of this doubt. Do want to remind you to get Rick's book, Megafire, America's Next Fourth Turning Crisis. Go to megafire.world, megafire.world, and get your copy of Rick's book today. And for those of you who've received it, thank you for the kind comments and reviews. And be sure to share it with someone else. and, you know, we are moving ahead. God's got some big things planned for this ministry,

and we'll be sharing some of that information here over the next few weeks as well. So, Doc, is there a message in that we're ending this teaching with a fire alarm? Well, you know, alarms have always been a tell-tale sign for us in the past. Yes. All right, the alarm's ringing. But we're preparing for the alarm today.

So that's the difference. So, all right, everyone. bless you we love you we invite you back here tomorrow thursday morning 8 a.m. for morning manna join us live on faith and values.com and you can listen any time on various social media platforms and also on true news.com as well we do post morning manna there as well god bless you we love you we'll see you on the thursday edition of morning manna
