A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knows nothing. For she sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, To call passengers who go right on their ways: Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wants understanding, she saith to him, Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. But he knows not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell (Proverbs 9:13-18)
Foolishness is clearly present in our world today. That’s why many terrible things are happening all around us, and it will only get worse. The Word has prophesied that these days would come, in which the wickedness of people will become worse and many terrible things will happen. Many people have left the Word of God. They have exchanged the wisdom of God for the wisdom of the world, which is foolishness to God. They have left the Word, and walk on self-chosen ways.
Christians want to live like the world
Many believers say that they believe in Jesus Christ and are born again, but many want to live like the world. Instead of dying to ‘self’ and the things of this world, and therefore die to the flesh, they stay carnal and feed their flesh. There are only a few believers, who are willing to lay down their own life, and follow Jesus; the Word in every area of their life.
Many believers say that they believe in the Bible; the Word of God, but there are only a few, who are obedient and do what is written in the Bible. How is that possible?
The narrow way
Jesus says: Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it (Mat 7:13,14)
Many people rather choose the world and her foolishness, than they choose God and Jesus. Instead of being loyal to Jesus and listen to Him, they stay loyal to the world and listen to what the world says. What has the church to offer? What is her message?
Why must the unbeliever repent,
if the believer does the same things?
How can an unbeliever make a choice for Jesus, if the believer walks exactly the way the unbeliever walks? What is the difference between them? Why must the unbeliever repent, if the believer does the same things the unbeliever does and keeps walking in sin? From which foolishness must the unbeliever repent from?
The foolishness is clamorous, loudly, but she is simple and knows nothing. Yet many choose to walk on her path. She reigns, and she tries to seduce as many people as possible. Especially believers, who walk on the path of righteousness.
She will use everything to make sure that a person will trade the path of righteousness, for her path of unrighteousness, which will eventually lead to destruction.
Because of the fact that most people stay carnal and keep walking after the flesh, they are easily seduced by the foolishness of the world. It all seems so beautiful, wonderful and promising, but the truth is that behind all the pomp and circumstance is darkness and destruction.
Do you choose wisdom of foolishness?
There are many believers, who believe the lies of the world, and leave the path of God; the path of righteousness, and enter the path of the world; the path of unrighteousness, which will lead to hell.
Everyone has to make a choice to either walk on the broad way, which lead to eternal destruction, or walk on the narrow way, which lead to eternal life.
