By Dr. Greg Cochran, ICC Fellow The book of Proverbs features a wise father pleading with his son to walk in the path of righteousness and avoid the way of evil. This father’s directive originates from an ontological perspective deeply rooted in both the Bible and humankind. Humanity is capable of evildoing. Despite cultural imperatives to the contrary, the sober wisdom of the Proverbs remains practical today: Evil never sleeps. Therefore, those on the side of righteousness must consciously guard their steps.
