This episode of the Ask Us Anything podcast explores several deep theological questions tied to the current Proverbs sermon series. Pastor Derek begins by unpacking the personification of wisdom in Proverbs, showing how Lady Wisdom ultimately points to Christ, the divine personification of wisdom. He then addresses the nature of joy, reminding listeners that God’s gifts are to be received with gratitude, not avoided out of fear of idolatry—citing C.S. Lewis’s “Meditation in a Tool Shed” and 1 Timothy 4. Next, he clarifies the personhood and role of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity, warning against reducing Him to a mere “manifestation” of the Father’s will and cautioning against modalism. Finally, he explains why Christians are no longer under the Mosaic Law, emphasizing Paul’s teaching in Galatians that the law was never a ladder to righteousness but a guide leading us to Christ and justification by faith alone.
