Rev. Dr. Mike HoneycuttProverbs 1:11, 13: Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without reason; … we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with plunder.I.                What Is a Fool?Proverbs 28:26. “Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool.”II.             How Do I Know if I Am a Fool?First, by remembering that we are never completely free from foolishness in this life.Proverbs 22:15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.Second, by looking at the different kinds of fools in the Bible.The Simple OnesProverbs 14:15 The simple believes everything….Proverbs 22:3 The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.The FoolsProverbs 15:5 A fool despises his father’s instruction.The ScoffersProverbs 9:7 Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.Proverbs 9:8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you….III.           How Does a Fool Become Wise?Proverbs 1:24 Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heededProverbs 1:29 Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LordCynthia Heimel: I pity celebrities, no I really do—Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, and Barbara Streisand, were once perfectly pleasant human beings.  But now their wrath is awful.Cynthia Heimel: You see Sly, Bruce, and Barbara wanted fame.  They worked, they pushed and the morning after each of them became famous they wanted to take an overdose. Because that giant thing they were striving for, that fame thing that was going to make everything OK, that was going to make their lives bearable, that was going to provide them with personal fulfillment and happiness had happened and they were still them.  The disillusionment turned them howling and insufferable.Proverbs 1:33 but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disasterMatthew 7:24-25.  Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
