Proverbs 14 :19-29 - And a Poor Man is Better than a Liar

Fr Mina jumpstarts this week’s Bible study by recounting the life of Pope Kyrillos the Sixth. Mocked and belittled in the eyes of laymen and clergy yet by his prayers the Coptic Church was saved after a great period of darkness and ignorance. His holiness and closeness to God was not realized until he was on his deathbed about to be welcomed by our Savior into His kingdom for his faithfulness over his service. This week’s Proverbs verses and Fr Mina’s commentary on it guides us through how we are like the ignorant who does not value holiness in disguise.
