Beware Uttering Slander


Listen Later

The sermon explores Proverbs 10 as a collection of wisdom sayings that contrast righteousness with wickedness, wisdom with folly, and the consequences of each path, emphasizing that these proverbs are not tools for self-righteous judgment but for humble, ongoing instruction and transformation. Rooted in the reality of human sinfulness and the grace of Christ, the preacher underscores that believers, though once unrighteous, now live under divine guidance, striving to embody wisdom through the Holy Spirit's power. Key themes include the dangers of unchecked sin, especially in speech and relationships, illustrated through a detailed progression from hidden hatred to slander and violence, and the importance of confronting conflict biblically through reconciliation, mediation, and accountability rather than harboring bitterness. The passage also highlights the lasting security of the righteous, the fleeting nature of the wicked, and the eternal value of godly speech and character, culminating in the call to daily engage with Scripture, reflect on its truths, and allow God to speak through them in personal application.
