Proverbs 11:2

About this episode
The book of Proverbs is not a collection of quaint, inspirational refrigerator magnets. It is a description of how the universe is wired. These are not suggestions for a better life; they are statements of fact, as unyielding as the law of gravity. Our modern world is built on a grand and catastrophic rejection of this divine architecture. We have convinced ourselves that we can be our own architects, that we can redefine the very nature of reality by the sheer force of our will. We celebrate what God calls shameful and are ashamed of what He calls glorious. We have, in short, declared war on the way things are. It presents us with an inviolable spiritual law: pride has a consequence, and humility has a reward. When arrogance enters the room, disgrace is right behind it, holding its coat.
