Proverbs 10:16

About this episode
It is God's inspired manual on how to live skillfully in His world. It does not deal in abstractions, sentimentalities, or pious fluff. It deals in the hard, unyielding realities of the universe God has made. And one of the foundational realities of this world is that it runs on a fixed moral economy. Every action, every word, every thought is an investment, and every investment yields a return. You cannot opt out of this economy any more than you can opt out of gravity. Our secular age is dedicated to the proposition that you can. It is a grand, and ultimately suicidal, experiment in pretending that you can sow thistle seeds and reap a harvest of figs. Our culture wants to live like the wicked, breaking every one of God's created ordinances for life, family, and society, and yet still receive the paycheck of the righteous.
