A Courageous Father (7 of 7)
Series: Wisdom for the Family
Jim Perdue
Proverbs 10:1-32
Intro/Attention
This morning, we conclude our series called Wisdom for the Family. We have looked at various passages throughout the book of Proverbs as we've learned principles for our families, friendships, finances, and how to avoid fools.

There always had been and always will be such a need. *During a visit to the children's Bible class, a preacher looked into their serious faces and asked, ''Do you love God?'' They nodded that they did love God. Then he asked, ''Why do you love God?'' After a moment a small voice came from the back: ''I guess it just runs in the family!'' Yes, great answer! Apparently that child came from a home where love for God was prevalent.*
*It has been said rightly said that a child is not likely to find a father in God unless he finds something of God in his father. A teacher asked some preschool children to ...
