Proverbs 10:30

About this episode
The book of Proverbs is intensely practical, but it is not shallow. It does not offer us a collection of quaint, disconnected moralisms for a slightly better life. Every proverb is a window looking out onto the fundamental structure of the world God has made. It is a world of two paths, two foundations, and two ultimate destinies. Our text today presents this division with architectural and agricultural clarity. It sets before us the great choice that every man, woman, and child must make: will you build your life on the rock of God's righteousness, or on the shifting sand of your own rebellion? Jesus concludes His most famous sermon with this very image for a reason. We live in an age that despises this kind of antithesis. Our culture wants to blur every line, erase every distinction, and pretend that all paths lead to the same destination.
