OPPOSITES DO NOT ALWAYS ATTRACT

Some of our idioms are not always true, but the Bible is. “The righteous despise the unjust; the wicked despise the godly.” Proverbs 29:27 NLT

FEAR

Fear man and fear everything. Fear God and fear nothing else. “The fear of man brings a snare; but whoever puts his trust in the LORD shall be safe.” Proverbs 29:25

PRIDE AND HUMILITY

Read my book, ‘Humility and how I attained it.’ By, I’m proud to be humble. Proverbs 29:23 NLT says, “ Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor.”

WORSE OFF THAN A FOOL

“There is more hope for a fool than for someone who speaks without thinking. There is more hope for a fool than for people who think they are wise.” Proverbs 29:20; 26:12 NLT “An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.” Will Rogers

CHILD DISCIPLINE

“To discipline a child produces wisdom, but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child. Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind and will make your heart glad.” Proverbs 29:15,17 NLT

LEADERSHIP AND THE POOR

When leaders can distinguish between the poor and the lazy we can have an honorable “welfare” system. “If a king judges the poor fairly, his throne will last forever.” Proverbs 29:14 George Bernard Shaw said, “A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul.”

LIES AND LEADERS

“If a ruler pays attention to liars, all his advisers will be wicked.” Proverbs 29:12
