Proverbs 31 isn't only for women, and Mother's Day. It’s a picture of wisdom lived out in real life. And the picture tells us several things about the way wisdom should look in our lives.

The core of the gospel is that we're a people who are set free because of our faith. God calls us to participate with Him in the work of freedom in the world.

In John 13:33-38, Jesus is not calling his disciples to a sentimental love. He’s not telling them to think good thoughts about each other. He’s saying, "I want you to press in to each other; I want you to depend on one another." He's calling them into a life of community.

There’s two reasons why we should talk about sex and sexual ethics in the church. First, the Bible talks about it. Second, it is a natural part of life, but one that we don't always handle very well. Proverbs invites us to listen, because it has something to say about how to live well in this area.
