The Blog

Seek it like Silver

“Striving for wisdom on ethical issues through biblical revelation & philosophical thought.”

Each post is constructed to be a reasonably small, digestible thought pertaining to a specific ethical issue, from the perspective of an analytical Christian.

The name and tagline are drawn from Proverbs 2:

Proverbs 2

The Value of Wisdom

¹ My son, if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
²making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
³yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice for understanding,
⁴if you seek it like silver
and search for it as for hidden treasures,
⁵then you will understand the fear of the LORD
and find the knowledge of God.
⁶For the LORD gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
⁷he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
⁸guarding the paths of justice
and watching over the way of his saints.
⁹ Then you will understand righteousness and justice
and equity, every good path;
¹⁰for wisdom will come into your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
¹¹ discretion will watch over you,
understanding will guard you,
¹²delivering you from the way of evil,
from men of perverted speech,
¹³who forsake the paths of uprightness
to walk in the ways of darkness,
¹⁴who rejoice in doing evil
and delight in the perverseness of evil,
¹⁵men whose paths are crooked,
and who are devious in their ways.

Through the contents of this blog, I pray that the Lord gifts wisdom, understanding, and insight regarding righteousness, justice, equity, and every good path.

May He guard the paths of justice and make knowledge pleasant to the souls of His saints.
