Proverbs: Pursuit of Wisdom
Solomon has a lot to say about pride. Pride is something we all struggle with and, in fact, I think pride and selfishness are built into us from birth. From the time we are little kids, we begin to calculate how we can maneuver to put ourselves in the number one position…
