Rooted in the Living Water

Summary

The advice of the wicked refers to the prevailing value system promoted by an unbelieving world. These are the messages the media dole out every day. We hear the siren-song: acquire more; be more successful; look younger and feel better; pursue your own personal happiness; use other people to get what you want. This is the advice of the wicked to which the psalmist refers. We are bombarded with such advice, bad advice, setting us up for failure! Who can buy or achieve everything touted by the advertisers? These messages shape the way we think, distorting our desires, and warping our values.
