Passage: Proverbs 8:1-8*

1. Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?

2. On the heights along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

3. beside the gates leading into the city, at the entrances, she cries aloud:

4. "To you, O men, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind.

5. You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, gain understanding.

6. Listen, for I have worthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.

7. My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness.

8. All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse.

Questions

1. Does web porn show "what is true" (compared to wisdom in verse 7)?

 

2. If no, what does web porn show that is not true?

 

3. What is "crooked or perverse" about web porn (verse 8)?

 

Practical help

Smut viewers know that porn doesn't equal reality. Instead, it's a virtual world that simply isn't there when you reach out to touch it. It leads you to water but won't let you drink. By contrast, wisdom isn't virtual. It is real. You can drink it. It quenches your thirst with the beauty of truth.
