Proverbs 11:29
He that troubles his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.


I. PEACE SHOULD BE THE GRAND AIM OF ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE DOMESTIC CIRCLE. To trouble the house is an evil.

II. THERE ARE SOME MEMBERS WHO BREAK THE PEACE OF THEIR DOMESTIC CIRCLE. They are the ill-natured, impulsive, false, selfish.

III. THOSE WHO BREAK THE PEACE OF THEIR DOMESTIC CIRCLE ARE FOOLS. Their folly is seen in this —

1. They get no good by it.

2. They get degradation by it.

(D. Thomas, D.D.)
