WANTED: More Fools

“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1 Cor. 1:18).

Dictionaries reveal to us that there are different kinds of fools in life: (1) a person lacking in judgment or prudence; (2) a harmlessly deranged person, or one lacking in common powers of understanding; (3) one who is victimized or made to appear foolish.

There are those who believe in something so strongly that they are willingly victimized and branded as fools for their beliefs. The same can certainly be said of those of us who believe that the Word of God is the final authority in life. As an example, consider this: many in the world about us willingly promote or condone sexual immorality (adultery, homosexuality, fornication) and Christians are called fools and ignorant and intolerant for calling it what God calls it: SIN (1 Cor. 6:9-10). But such is the state of the worldly wise (Rom. 1:22), “for the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God...” (1 Cor. 3:19).

What this world needs is more fools for Christ. Friends, will you be one?
