    Proverbs has one primary “keep-in-mind” consideration that overhangs all its maxims. It is this: Keep in mind that God is in charge. Every proverb here specifically calls that truth to mind.

Many of these persons carried American flags and some displayed Christian testimonies, all convinced, apparently, of the ...read more
