Proverbs 10:27

About this episode
The book of Proverbs is not a collection of folksy platitudes or sanctified fortune cookie sayings. It describes the grain of the universe, the way God has structured reality to work. To ignore Proverbs is like ignoring the law of gravity; you can do it for a short time, but the consequences are not negotiable. Our modern world is in full-throated rebellion against this divine physics. We have convinced ourselves that we can live however we please, redefine good and evil to our own liking, and still expect a long, prosperous, and meaningful life. We want to sow thistle seeds and reap a harvest of figs. We want to build our house on the sand of our own autonomy and then express shocked indignation when the first storm brings it all down in a heap. This is the central lie of secularism, the grand delusion of our age.
