Proverbs 11:4

About this episode
We live in a world that is obsessed with accounting. Men spend their lives meticulously tracking every digit in their bank accounts, every fluctuation in the stock market, every asset in their portfolio. They believe that a man's worth is the sum of his possessions. Our entire culture is a grand conspiracy to convince you that the man who dies with the most toys wins. This is the great deception, the lie that props up our entire godless, materialistic age. But the book of Proverbs is a book of spiritual accounting. It is God's ledger, and it operates on a completely different set of principles. It teaches us that there is an ultimate audit coming, a final reckoning. All the gold, all the real estate, all the retirement accounts will be shown to be utterly worthless. There is a coming day of wrath, and on that day, only one currency will have any value at all.
