    (1) WE MIGHT FLEE TO A PARENT. For those of us who are blessed to still have our parents around, we may FLEE TO THEM in times of difficulty. Why? Because, when we face the difficulties of life, we want to have someone on our side, and we know that our parents will always be there for ...read more

    Many consider this passage of scripture to be one of the most important passages in the Bible. Once we get into these verses, it is easy to see why it is ranked so high by so many.

    The reason it is ranked so high is because this passage deals with the example we set before our FAMILY and FRIENDS. Every one of us has influence for GOOD or BAD! Illus: Even Jesse James had a gang that followed him around, and so do we. We have people under our influence. When we speak about ...read more
