Text: Proverbs 28
25 November 2007
Dear Parents,
THE WICKED AND THE RIGHTEOUS
Once again the theme of wickedness and righteousness is discussed! We must never tire of repeating lessons for our children. Some lessons are worth studying again and again! Let us always encourage our children to walk in the path of righteousness.
The wicked flee when no one pursues,
But the righteous are bold as a lion.
Because of the transgressions of a land,
Many are its princes;
But a man of understanding and knowledge
Right will be prolonged.Proverbs 28:1-2
