Proverbs 7:1–5

About this episode
The book of Proverbs, and especially this seventh chapter, presents us with a stark and unavoidable choice. It is a choice between two women, two ways, two destinies. This is not a quaint collection of folksy wisdom for clean living. This is spiritual warfare, and the battlefield is the heart of a young man. We live in a culture that desperately wants to pretend this choice does not exist. Our generation wants to blur every line, erase every distinction, and call it progress. The other is the way of Lady Wisdom, whose ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. You will give your heart to one or the other. You will either love wisdom or you will love folly. You will serve God or you will serve your lusts. This passage is a father's urgent plea to his son.
