"Sex Education Solomon Style" Part 2

This morning we are returning to our study in the book of Proverbs, on practical wisdom for everyday living. If you recall when we began the study I shared with you that Solomon is credited with writing the book of Proverbs, one of the 5 books that make up the Poetic Books in the Old Testament.

2. Psalms
3. Proverbs
4. Ecclesiastes
5. Song of Solomon

“PRO”-‘on behalf of’, ‘in place of another’
Verba, ‘words’, ‘instead of words’
