Foolishness
How foolish are we? We are surrounded by foolsish things and foolish choices. Some of these "foolish" things are harmless. We enjoy laughter and fun while we do some "foolish" things. Butl other foolish choices are harmful. They will bring dire consequences we didn't expect.
This week our mission's team and I are in soutehrn Thailand for LIFE Camp. LIFE camp is a yearly gathering of Thai churches to present the gospel through teaching English. For 22 years the gospel has been shared, English has been taught, and relationships have been formed. Eternal dividends are being made by the lost being saved.
This week the Lord led me to talk about foolishness and its consequences. We've looked at things like how foolish it is to not plan for eternity. or to accept a lie as the truth, or to put off until tomorrow to make a decision for the Lord. In each case a terrible consequence will be experienced in eternity. Foolishness will always lead to harmful results. Or, do they?
One foolishness that leads to good results is preaching. The Apaostle Paul said that the "foolishness of the message preached" will bring people to faith. He said that many will see the message of sin, salvation and a Saviour as utter nonsense. They, like Festus, will call us crazy. But, who, really, is the crazy one?
If I tell a person they have a counterfiet $20 bill, and they try to spend it anyway, who is the fool? It's not me for telling them. Rather, it is the one who didn't listen to good advice. If they are arrested for spending the counterfiet they have only themselves to blame.
Please pray for the Lord to bring these at LIFE camp to the truth and to faith. We are praying many will flee the foolshiness of sin to the foolishness of the message of Jesus Christ.
