Failure is an important subject to study because many of us suffer a fear of how others see us rather than thinking about what God wants us to do.

Confession

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on May 27, 2005

Contributed by Tom Dooley on May 21, 2001

Old Dogs And New Tricks Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

Shallowness always leads to folly, but depth, when it is directed by wisdom, will lead to a life pleasing to God and appealing to man. Very seldom is a truly wise man proud. He is humbled because he knows so well how little he really knows.

Proverbs by their very nature are often paradoxical, and they often seem to contradict one another. They only do so, however, if we take them as absolutes which are true in every case. If we take them as stating a truth of a segment of reality, and not all of reality, we will see there are ...read more
