Bad Advice
Dr. Daniel Gillenwater
The world is full of advice. Some that is good, much more that is not. This should not surprise us; after all, we live in a fallen and sinful world. Therefore, it only makes sense that much of the world's advice is fallen and sinful. Here in Romans 3:9-20 Paul brings to a conclusion a theological truth he has been expounding upon since Romans 1:18, "None is righteous, no not one." In doing so, we can see just how bad some of the world's advice really is. "Follow your heart." "Speak your mind." "Just do it." These make great slogans, but horrible life advice.
