When We (were 'Christian')
About this poem
inslired by - Carm .Org - Forums - Online /C.A.R.M - Apologetics - Discussion Boards "Ultimately, what "a man thinks in his heart, so is he." The book of Proverbs is known for such concise wisdom. People ruled by sin are influenced by the chief deceiver, Satan, and become deceivers themselves. ... The source of instruction is Wisdom, who is Christ, our Teacher. If one gives his spiritual heart and ears to Him, he will be instructed by Him with words of perception, the crown of the virtues. ... Understanding is one of the general virtues of Wisdom. He who has this virtue understands true life." https://www.christianity.com/wiki/bible/as-a-man-thinketh-so-is-he-proverbs-23-7.html ... more »
