Reformation Orthodox Presbyterian Church

The second chapter of Proverbs contains an even more full sermon from the father. He calls his son to accept, to receive, to imbibe, and make his own the wisdom of God. He is to not only be a passive recipient of it, but he is to be proactive in crying out to the Lord, for that glorious gift comes from above. When he does this, it will guard both his heart and his mind it will not only make him orthodox in his understanding of the world, but will direct his moral compass, as one made holy unto God. Wisdom will be a bulwark for those who pursue it. A bulwark against wicked men and lustful thoughts, and it continues to remind us and serve as an eschatological reminder that Wisdom brings life and folly brings death.
