Proverbs 10:6

About this episode
The book of Proverbs is not a collection of fortune cookie platitudes for a well-adjusted, vaguely spiritual life. It operates on the fundamental biblical principle that there are two ways to live, and only two. There is no third way, no neutral ground, no demilitarized zone. You are either gathering with Him or scattering abroad. Every decision you make, every word you speak, every thought you entertain, places you squarely on one side of this great antithesis or the other. We want nuance, we want gray areas, we want to believe that we can have our cake and eat it too. But Solomon, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, will not allow us this comfort. It determines whether your life is a fountain of blessing or a sewer of violence. This proverb presents us with a stark contrast, a diptych of two heads, two mouths, and two destinies.
