This sermon explores Proverbs 5 as a wisdom text that reveals how desire directs our lives and ultimately shapes who we become. Rather than treating unfaithfulness as accidental or harmless, Proverbs exposes two competing voices, one grounded in wisdom, foresight, and concern for life, and another that promises immediate satisfaction without regard for consequence. The central issue is not merely behavior but authority, whether our lives are formed by God’s wisdom or by unchecked desire. At its core, the sermon calls listeners to covenantal love, love rooted in faithfulness, responsibility, and commitment rather than feelings or personal fulfillment. It challenges the cultural question, “Does this feel right?” with the deeper biblical question, “Is this faithful?” Desire is not condemned, but must be ordered within God’s design to become life-giving rather than destructive.
