Proverbs: Matters of Heart (Part 3)
ProverbsSteve Gregg
In this segment, Steve Gregg explores the themes of jealousy and envy in the book of Proverbs. While envy is generally considered a negative emotion, Gregg argues that a certain type of jealousy can be appropriate in the context of a spousal relationship. He also discusses the importance of maintaining a right heart and avoiding oppression, even in the face of apparent injustice. Ultimately, he encourages listeners to prioritize fellowship with God and to find contentment in the essentials of life rather than in material possessions.
