Principles for Godly Living (2 of 7)

Proverbs 11-12
We are studying the book of Proverbs on Sunday mornings as we look at selected chapters through this Old Testament book. Today, from Proverbs 11-12, we’re talking about the sermon subject, Principles for Godly Living. Remember, last week we talked about how important it is to live with wisdom.

People want to learn how to play the guitar, or how to solve the rubix cube, or how to divide fraction. You can imagine there were a lot of searches on ‘‘how to lose weight’’ or ‘‘how to get a six pack.’’ There was one that I searched for recently; ‘‘how to get rid of fruit flies.’’ My goo ...
