About this episode
It is not a collection of esoteric sayings for detached philosophers to stroke their beards over. It is a father's urgent instruction to his son on how to navigate the real world, God's world. And in God's world, there are only two ways to walk. There is no third way, no neutral ground, no demilitarized zone. Every decision you make, every word you speak, every thought you entertain, places your feet firmly on one of these two paths. We want to believe that the wicked are not really that bad, and the righteous are not really that good. We want to blur the lines, erase the distinctions, and pretend that everyone is just trying their best. He separated light from darkness, and He separates the righteous from the wicked. The passage before us this morning is the culmination of the argument Solomon has been building in this chapter.
