“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. Consider this: many in the
world about us willingly promote, or at the least
endorse, sexual immorality – and Christians are
called fools and ignorant and intolerant for calling it
what God calls it: SIN. But such is the state of the
worldly wise, “for the wisdom of this world is
foolishness to God…” (1 Cor. 3:19). What this world
needs is more fools for Christ. Will you be one?
