Deceit and Deception
#
Proverbs 20:1, 16, 19, 17
Introduction
Sometimes we can be very innocent, and naive in life, and not realize
there are people that are not trustworthy as well as things that cannot
be trusted. The Bible helps us to know what to look out for. It will
benefit us, so as to be wise in this world.
The Bible, and especially the book of Proverbs serves as a great
practical book, to help us be wise in a world of much foolishness.
