Proverbs 1 - 2
ProverbsSteve Gregg
In this discourse, Steve Gregg discusses the organization of the biblical book of Proverbs, noting that it may be challenging to determine whether to approach the book verse by verse or chapter by chapter. He highlights a recurring theme emphasized by the wise King Solomon - a love for correction and a teachable spirit. Gregg also stresses the importance of internalizing godly principles and wisdom to avoid being influenced negatively by peer pressure or societal norms, a concept he refers to as "shale." Finally, he explores the contrasting depictions of the wise and foolish woman found in the early chapters of Proverbs.
