Proverbs 11:8

About this episode
We live in an age that despises the very notion of a plot. Our cultural elites, our academics, and our talking heads are all committed to the idea that we inhabit a random, meaningless universe. For them, history is just one blasted thing after another, a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing. They want a world without a storyteller, because a storyteller implies an author, and an author implies authority. Into this festival of meaninglessness, the book of Proverbs drops like a cast iron skillet into a china shop. Proverbs teaches us that we are not living in a random assortment of molecules. We are living in a moral universe, a cosmos created and governed by a personal God who has opinions about how we live. This universe has a grain, a texture, a direction. And that direction is established by the character of God Himself.
