Joshua Harris: Proverbs 3:7

Proverbs 3:7 says, “Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.” Joshua Harris uses a beanbag chair to illustrate how we often fail to “turn away from evil.”

As analogies go, it isn’t perfect in its illustration but the point is still real and valid.
