Proverbs 11:18

About this episode
It does not present us with a complicated menu of fifty different lifestyle options. There is the way of wisdom and the way of folly. You are on one of these two roads, and they do not run parallel. They diverge sharply, and they end in two entirely different destinations. We want nuance, we want gray areas, we want to believe that we can build a decent little life for ourselves somewhere in the middle, borrowing a little bit from God's wisdom when it suits us and a little bit from the world's folly when that seems more convenient. But the book of Proverbs, and indeed the whole of Scripture, tells us that this middle ground is an illusion. You are either building on the rock or you are building on the sand. You are either gathering with Christ or you are scattering abroad.
