Proverbs 5:15-23 | The Beginning of Wisdom
The Grass Isn’t Greener
Solomon wants to talk to his boys about sex and how to enjoy it and avoid lifelong hurt and regret. Sex isn’t the easiest thing to talk with your kids about! But Solomon steps up and talks to them as adults and counsels adult behaviour from them. The Bible isn’t shy about sex, nor is it flippant; instead, it’s joyful and careful. Let’s do our best to follow suit.
