Proverbs 10:20

About this episode
We live in a world that is drowning in words. We are bombarded by them from every screen, every speaker, every billboard. We have podcasts and posts, tweets and texts, an endless torrent of verbiage. But in this vast ocean of communication, we have managed to devalue the currency. Words have become cheap, disposable, and often, utterly worthless. We say what we do not mean, promise what we will not do, and fill the air with noise that signifies nothing. In short, we live in an age of linguistic inflation, and the currency of discourse has been debased. Into this chaos, the book of Proverbs speaks with the clarity of a striking bell. It does not merely give us moralistic platitudes about being nice. It presents us with a divine economy, a spiritual accounting of reality. They have weight, they have value, and they reveal the true state of our spiritual treasury.
