THE  THREE  BIGGEST  FOOLS  IN  VICTORIA …

 

 

Fools are mentioned about 80 times in the Book of Proverbs alone!!  The ‘lazy man’, the ‘liar’, the ‘proud’, the ‘boasting’ … all these and more are described by God Himself as “Fools”.

 

Abner died like a fool (II Samuel 3:33);  Saul ‘played the fool’ (I Samuel 26:21);  Ezekiel predicts the doom of the ‘foolish prophets’ (13:3);  and the Lord Jesus calls the Pharisees “Fools!” (Luke 11:39-40).

 

Some folk, whom are designated as ‘fools’ in the Bible, are still with us …

 

1.       THE FOOL SAYS “THERE IS NO GOD” … Psalm 14:1

 

Yet Creation demands a Creator.  Every blade of grass, every fingerprint, every spinning solar system, every living creature … testify to the fact that there is a God.

 

People would rather swallow the ‘theory’ of Evolution than accept the facts of God’s Word.

 

Just as sad are those who say that they believe in God … and then live as if He does not exist.  The Bible says … “Fool!”

 

2.       “FOOLS … SLOW OF HEART TO BELIEVE ALL THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE WRITTEN” … Luke 24:25

 

The man who rejects the Word of God and its message of salvation is a fool.

 

The Bible has stood the test of time.  Critics have attacked it … apostates have burned it … still it continues as a ‘lamp in a dark place’ to guide our footsteps aright.

 

The accuracy of Bible prophecy is another evidence of the super natural origin of this Book … it was penned by holy men inspired by the Holy Spirit.

 

3.       “THOU FOOL … THIS NIGHT THY SOUL IS REQUIRED OF THEE” … Luke 12:20

 

The person who fails to prepare for Eternity, says the Lord, is a fool.

 

He told the parable of the man who spent time planning ahead … bigger barns, more money … and yet failed to prepare for the visit of the Grim Reaper.

 

CONCLUSION

 

Do you believe God exists?  And if you do, do you live in obedience to what He commands??

 

Do you believe the Bible to be true?  And if you do, do you do what it says??

 

Do you know if you are ready to meet your God?  Is Christ your Lord and Saviour??  Do you have that assurance that if you were to die tonight you would go to Heaven??
