Proverbs 20 : 6-9

Proverbs 5:15-23 is our text today and there is a continuation of Solomon's counsel to his sons from the earlier verses. The whole counsel in chapter 5 is to not be enticed by the immoral woman. The caution is to the son and is specific to personal fidelity to marriage, whether then or future. 
 
At the heart of the problem, however, is the enticement for other things. The spiritual cause is much larger than only sensual things. The problem is rooted in a lack of contentment. In this case the hypothetical contentment with the wife of his youth is challenged by the enticement of another woman. 
 
To work this out further the question then becomes, can a man be fully committed to his wife but not be enticed by other interests? The answer is certainly, yes. People can be enticed and want for many other things, the devil goes after the weakness of each individual. 
 
The issue then becomes one of contentment. Can it be said of us we are content with what we have? No matter what it is, is it enough? 
 
This is the matter at hand in Proverbs 5. We look closer at this today. We meet at 8:30 or 10:00 a.m. PST and we Live Stream from our website.

Bible Study 11/11/18 Proverbs 5:15-23

Proverbs 4:14-27 is our text today and in some ways it has some of the same principles found elsewhere in the previous chapters. The emphasis is on action, based upon learning from the words of Solomon. This causes one to think about what we hear and how we react. In a Christian context our source of knowledge is crucial. What Solomon instructs are universal truths, so naturally they are also commented upon in the New Testament. 
 
All over the country today people will be attending church. Place by place any number of different approaches will be found. There are some who rely on anecdotes and stories. Some on entertainment, philosophy and cultural relevance. Some of tradition, ritual and liturgy, and on it goes. What I have been exposed to since coming to Cypress was the approach where reading and learning from the text was primary, and there weren't really any other elements aside from worship in music. 
 
This is where models matter, given Solomon's words. His was a call to heed his words. Then they were listen intently, to know, to apply and be transformed and not distracted. If God's word is not the center of attention, then the words will be more from man, and will further cause deviation from what scripture teaches. 
 
As we do each week, we can see NT parallels to Proverbs and they help to develop and widen our understanding of Solomon's words. His words are wise and well chosen, but they are clearly shown in greater detail when the principles are applied to the pages of NT scripture.
