Summary

If we’re honest there’s a little bit of foolishness or an area of foolishness in all of us. The “want to” precedes the “how to”. You have to want help before you can actually get help. Wisdom requires humility. If you hang out in a foolish decision or with foolish people just like gravity it will pull you down. Today we’re going to talk about how to deal with our own foolishness and foolish people. We love giving away free stuff! Right now we're giving away a free chapter from Mark's book, Spirit-Filled Jesus, about dealing with foolish and evil people. This goes right along with what we're talking about this month.

0:14.0

Well, and even in Peter's example, I think often we're all like, oh, no, I would never do that. Even Peter, no, I would never deny you Jesus. That would never happen. We say that all the time about stuff. Oh, no, I would never do that. Even Peter, no, I would never deny you Jesus.

That would never happen.

0:22.5

We say that all the time about stuff.

Oh, it won't get that bad.

And then God's, you know, the Holy Spirit convicts us.

And we realize, oh, I just did what I said I wouldn't do.

0:33.7

And I think that's where foolish people that aren't open to the conviction of the Holy Spirit,
