Proverbs 11:3

About this episode
The book of Proverbs is not a collection of inspirational quotes for coffee mugs. It describes how the world, under the governance of a holy God, actually works. And at the heart of this book is a great, unbridgeable chasm, a fundamental antithesis. There are two paths, two kinds of people, and two destinies. There is no third way, no demilitarized zone, no comfortable middle ground. We have been taught that truth is relative, morality is a social construct, and sharp distinctions are a sign of bigotry. We prefer the murky gray to the stark black and white. Our age wants to have its cake and eat it too; it wants to live by crooked means and arrive at a straight destination. It wants to build a civilization on the sand of deceit and then act surprised when the tide comes in and washes it all away.
