Part 3: The Paths of Life
Series: Sound Sense For Successful Living
Stuart Briscoe
Proverbs 2:1-22

Innumerable options present themselves to people living in today's world. But according to Scripture these options represent two main possibilities for life. One is the possibility of living God's way, and the other is the possibility of going your own way. Solomon clearly delineated the difference.

I. The Necessity of Recognizing the Different Paths.

This involves:
A. Recognizing the Biblical wisdom.
1. Reality of good and evil.

2. Reality of God and Satan.

3. Reality of Heaven and Hell.

4. Reality of life and death.

B. Rejecting the popular wisdom.
1. Everything is relative.

2. God is irrelevant; Satan is non-existent.

3. Heaven-a state of mind; Hell-a medieval concept.
