“Fools 3”

Blessings folk!

More about the fool.
Note the difference between the fool and the wise.

Pro 12:15
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.

Pro 13:16
Every prudent man acts with knowledge,
But a fool displays folly.

Pro 14:7
Leave the presence of a fool,
Or you will not discern words of knowledge.

Pro 14:16
A wise man is cautious and turns away from evil,
But a fool is arrogant and careless.


A fool…

  • is right in his own eyes
  • displays folly
  • is arrogant
  • is careless

A wise man…
  • listens to counsel
  • prudently acts with knowledge
  • leaves the presence of the fool (many in organizational churches are voting with their feet)
  • discerns words of knowledge
  • cautious
  • turns away from evil

Right in own eyes vs. listening to counsel…
Prudent acting with knowledge vs. display of folly…
Staying with fools vs. leaving fools so as to discern words of knowledge…
Cautious and turning away from evil vs.arrogant carelessness…

Which are you?
What are you doing?
Ask the Lord.
