The Fool in Proverbs, which ones am I?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]A @Christadelphians Video: Description: Solomon’s writings in Proverbs are like a COMPASS which can direct or lives. Humans are all susceptible to making foolish decisions, most usually in impulsive haste. So we need to consider our vulnerability “To be forewarned is to be forearmed” so to speak. The book of proverbs is excellent to encourage prayerful, meditative and insightful therapy to ward off our tendency to making foolish decisions.
