The wise person knows three things when it comes to words: the value of speech, the characteristics of good words, and the source of good words.
What are the characteristics of the wise? Ken Boa looks at seven of them through the book of Proverbs: humility, loyalty, teachability, righteousness, godly speech, forgiveness, and thoughtfulness.
The first nine chapters of Proverbs introduce the book through ten exhortations. Chapters 5–9 call us to flee from folly, especially from sexual immorality.
The book of Proverbs is intensely practical and applicable even today, 3,000 years after it was written. It teaches us skill in the art of living.

God calls us to love Him in all things—even when we do not like all things. Every task, however mundane it may be, is an opportunity to give God glory.
Wisdom is about cultivating a higher sense of “the good life”—not giving ourselves up for power, popularity, or possessions, but submitting to Christ.
True wisdom is a gift from God. God provides it, we become more and more conformed to His image, bearing the aroma of Christ.
A series of small surrenders leads us to a gradual decline away from wisdom. Pursuing wisdom requires a constant redirection toward the One who created us for intimacy with Him.
