Proverbs for the Family

<p>The Book of Proverbs is preeminently a book of the family. There are fifty-four references to it in the thirty-one chapters which comprise this portion of Scripture. Twenty-three times the writer begins his remarks with the words My son. Because of the many forces which are at work to destroy the family in this age and because some of the efforts of Christians to strengthen the family seem to be based primarily on the psychology of the world it is imperative that we come again to God's eternal wisdom to learn His plan for the family. </p><p>May He give us the desire to do so along with the Holy Spirit to enlighten the eyes of our understanding enabling us to apply these principles to our situations. </p>
