NO WISDOM: NO FUTURE


Those who don’t want to be wise “…must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way, choking on their own schemes. For the simple turn away from me (wisdom) to death. Fools are destroyed by their own complacency. But those who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.” Proverbs 1:11-13 NLT

WHAT'S WRONG?

"There is good in everyone" seems to be a popular philosophy. However there is evil in everyone as well. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."

It's pretty hard to confess our sins if we don't believe we have sinned. what do you think?
