As dead flies cause even a bottle of perfume to stink, so a little foolishness spoils great wisdom and honor. A wise person chooses the right road; a fool takes the wrong one.You can identify fools just by the way they walk down the street!
If your boss is mad at you, don't quit! A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes!
Ecclesiastes 10. 1-4
Its sad that Christians don't read the Word! There is so much wisdom and insight there. And humor! I know that as you read about fools walking down the street , you had to laugh!Someone you know came to mind! Don't get me wrong ; we have to watch being critical and judgmental, but the truth is the truth!
You will be amazed if you look up the word 'fool' in your concordance...plenty of verses with warnings attached!
The definition of foolishness:
Without good sense or judgment.
Silly.
Unwise.
Ridiculous.
Absurd.
( There are more , but I think you get the picture.)
So what is the danger of acting a little foolish? If you are a believer and your friend is unsaved, why would they want to be like you? You are just like them! They risk their life by banking on no eternal damnation...they will even argue with you about it because they see you as a hypocrite! Sadly, you lose your witness.
Lets get radical for Jesus. Lets put Him first in our lives and even if we have to sacrifice a little, lets set a good example for those people around us to see. And honestly, lets start being salt and light! Jesus is returning for us soon; lets take some people with us!
