Proverbs 11:6

About this episode
It does not float in the misty regions of abstract piety; it walks on the ground, with dust on its feet. It is concerned with how life is actually lived in God's world, under God's rules. And at the heart of this wisdom is a great chasm, a fundamental antithesis that cleaves all of humanity in two. There are the righteous, and there are the wicked. There are the upright, and there are the treacherous. There are no third ways, no neutral zones, no conscientious objectors in this war. Our verse today sets this great divide before us with startling clarity. It is a proverb of cause and effect, of trajectory and destiny. It shows us that character is not a static quality; it is a dynamic force. It is either a liberating force or it is a snare.
