Proverbs: Food and Wine

ProverbsSteve Gregg
In this talk by Steve Gregg, he discusses the contrast between the things of the world and the things of God as described in Proverbs. He reminds us that while God gives us things to enjoy, we must exercise restraint in indulging our cravings at inappropriate times and in inappropriate ways. Gregg also offers caution when it comes to alcohol and warns against the dangers of excess and inappropriate use. Ultimately, he encourages following God's laws and avoiding anything that hinders us from making correct judgments and bringing glory to God.
