Bulletin Board Ideas and Proverbs:
- You may think everything you do is right, but the
Lord judges your motives. Proverbs 16:2
- Fame is a vapor, popularity is an accident, and money
takes wings. The only thing that endures is character.
- The diamond cannot be polished without friction,
nor man perfected without trials.
- The Lord sometimes takes us into troubled waters NOT
to drown us, but to cleanse us.
