ARE YOU A FOOL?
by Steve Pegram

 

The Word of God has much to say about whether or not a man is a fool. Rather than me bringing to you a whole message on fools, I have chosen to just give you a few scriptures below to show you what the Bible says. That way, you can't get mad at me. So, think of this as a test. Read each verse and then ask yourself, “Is that me?” Then, at the end of the verses, ask yourself “Am I A Fool?”

Proverbs 10:18, "He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool."

Proverbs 12:15, "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise."

Proverbs 13:16, "Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly."

Proverbs 14:16, "A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident."

Proverbs 13:19, "The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil."

Proverbs 14:8, "The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit."

Proverbs 14:9, "Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour."
