The Evil of Envy
Very basic to the development of wisdom is the ability to understand and channel the deep currents of our hearts.
The book of Proverbs looks at the subject of wisdom. And in these passages, we come to a theme the Bible says is very important to understand: envy.
Let’s look at three things: 1) how to understand envy, 2) why to deal with envy, and 3) where to take your envy.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 7, 2004. Series: Proverbs: True Wisdom for Living. Scripture: Proverbs 23:17-18; Psalm 73:1-3, 20-26.
