When The String Snaps
Adrian Rogers
Proverbs 15:13-22
Turn to Proverbs chapter fifteen. We're in a series of messages entitled "The Music of Marriage," and you will remember in the very first message we talked about "Dad: the Leader of the Band" and how the father sets tune in the home. He is the leader of the band. And then last week, we talked together about "Harmony in the Home."

The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure and trouble therewith. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox" that is filet mignon "and hatred therewith. A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly. Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established." Now I'm going to stop reading there, but I want you to notice some words just if y ...
