FOOLISHNESS
A person’s own
foolishness will ruin his
life. But her will blame
the Lord.
1Co:1:24: But unto
them which are called,
both Jews and Greeks,
Christ the power of
God, and the wisdom
of God.
1Co:2:7 & 8: But we
speak the wisdom of
God in a mystery, even
the hidden wisdom,
which God ordained
before the world unto
our glory:
Which none of the
princes of this world
knew: for had they
known it, they would
not have crucified the
Lord of glory.
De:4:6: Keep therefore and
do them; for this is your
wisdom and your
understanding in the sight of
the nations, which shall hear
all these statutes, and say,
Surely this great nation is a
wise and understanding
people.
De:4:7: For what nation
is there so great, who
hath God so nigh unto
them, as the LORD our
God is in all things that
we call upon him for?
