This past Sunday we examined 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. In this passage Paul contrasts the wisdom of God with the wisdom of people. In fact the passage shows that our wisdom is foolish when compared to God’s wisdom. We see God’s wisdom as foolish even though we can’t even agree on what is wise or not. I want to look at some other passages from the Bible that talk about being foolish and see what we can learn.
Psalms 14:1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
Many say this today. We are surrounded by people who claim there is no God. It seems to me that they disregard the possibility that maybe they don’t know everything. I could see someone saying that there is a god but not one who is involved with us. That at least takes into account that people do not know everything. To say that there is no god at all presupposes knowledge that we just do not have as humans. In fact I believe it takes more faith to believe that there is no god at all than there is to believe in a personal God who has revealed himself to us.
