VESSELS UNTO HONOUR
The
Influential Wife
"Every
wise woman buildeth her house:
but the
foolish
plucketh
it down with her hands."
Proverbs
14:1
All
Bible quotations are from the King James Version 1611
1
Kings 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
It
has once been said, "Your influence is either negative or positive, never
neutral." Throughout history and the Bible this truth is brought
to light within the marital relationship. The influence of a wife has marred
the character of some good men, and has fueled the fire of hate an evil in
some.
