    We have to be cautious because much like the original audience of Proverbs, we are in a marketplace of voices that compete for our time, attention and even our allegiance. Proverbs 1:7 reminds us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Matthew Henry’s comment reminds me of something I always heard when I was growing up which was “If you lie down with dogs, then ...read more
