When God Needs Foolish Men. Part [2] 12/31/2025 (Morning thought)

1st Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are.

The following examples are therefore given in God’s word not only so that folks might tell the difference, but that we may understand why on certain, specific occasions, God might need, or choose to use foolish men for the accomplishment of His purposes. [1] A foolish man is one who says there is no God. It includes, but is not limited to Atheists, and involves persons who deliberately reject the testimonies of the Scriptures, in favor of evolution. In the Scripture such individuals are described as being fools.

Psalms 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shews his handywork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night shews knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.

In our day we have rockets that head into space, we have telescopes which bring back images from the milky way with myriads of galaxies, moons, and suns together with millions of white dwarfs, and yet still man comes back down to earth to teach the theory of evolution? Hence the reason why the Bible designates such as a fool, for in many cases, there is a deliberate effort to reject the light streaming from the word of God, as to the origin of species, and the creation of all things. In other words, all these discoveries should naturally lead us to conclude that there must be A God somewhere.

Isaiah 40: 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one fails.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

When God Needs Foolish Men. Part [1] 12/31/2024 (Evening thought)

1st Corinthians 1: 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

In preparing for this Bible study, we made a pretty grim discovery, that many of the individuals who the scriptures describe as being foolish are actually very well-respected and intelligent persons, to whom the world often looks up to, and have in veneration. According to the Bible, having a very high I.Q. does not necessarily mean that a person is not a fool and being able to rub shoulders with many intellectuals, philosophers and the worldly wise may not translate always into having the wisdom that is born of God.

The Bible teaches us that the fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but fools despise instruction. And therefore, in the evaluation of fools, and wise men, the acknowledgement of God must be taken into consideration. When persons deliberately reject the revealed truth about God, and turn to man-made philosophies and suppositions, the mind becomes darkened, and to a great extent contracted in its ability to expand so as to comprehend and evaluate spiritual things.

This deliberate turning away from God and His word then leads individuals to reason things along strictly logical modes of thought, so that the Divine and the supernatural are not taken into consideration in the planning and execution of duty. Therefore, because of these grim discoveries, we’re prompted to examine from the word of God, those descriptions of what makes a man a fool, for there seems to be an inverted understanding of the wise and the foolish in our day which is causing persons to be led astray.

1st Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 26 For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
