Love and Marriage (1 of 7)
Series: Wisdom for the Family
Jim Perdue
Proverbs 5:1-23
Intro/Attention
Today, I'm beginning a brand new sermon series that will take us all the way through Father's Day. It's a series on love, marriage, parenting, kids, family, and finances. I've called this series Wisdom for the Family because we'll be studying selected scriptures in the Book of Proverbs. Today, we begin our study in Proverbs 5 as we study the subject, Love and Marriage. READ Proverbs 5:1-7, 15-19, 21

Solomon uses phrases like this constantly: ''Hear, my son, your father's instruction...My son, do not forget...My son, be attentive to my wisdom.'' He wants his son to learn the root of all wisdom-''the fear of the Lord.''

The principles of wisdom will work for anyone who puts them to use. But it is only those who fear the Lord who will want follow Him.*
The Book of Proverbs is both a marriage manual and a parenting primer. It deals with every part of our lives: love, marriage, family, parenting, work, and finances. Today we focus on Lov ...
