Friends today we will learn the many bible verses in the book of Proverbs that describe a fool. Let me state that the only way to escape a fool's destruction is to be wise with Jesus as your God. If anyone receives Jesus, they receive wisdom, avoiding a fool's destruction, because Jesus is wisdom according to 1 Corinthians 1:30 that says But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. Get saved now and repent (decide to stop sinning), make Jesus God of your life, and believe daily that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.
OK, let's learn who fools are around us in this world by looking through the book of Proverbs. Avoid being a fool that is eternally tormented in hell. First pictured above we see that Proverbs 14:9 says Fools make a mock at sin; but among the righeous there is favour. This scripture says fools boast and brag about how they enjoy sin. For example, a fool brags about enjoying fornicating with hundreds of women and constantly drinking beer and taking drugs every night at the local bar. This fool does not realize that his sins will destroy him and send him eternally to hell.
Also, pictured above we see Proverbs 13:19-20 that says The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil; He that walketh with wise men shall be wise but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Wow fools refuse to depart from evil and a fool and his companions that enjoy and brag about their sins will be destroyed. Friends everywhere, stay away from the house of a fool that constantly sins smoking weed, fornicating, and drinking all day. Proverbs 4:14 says Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. Just witness and offer the Lord Jesus to sinners in public places but do not be partakers of sin at a fool's personal home.
The book of Romans also describes a fool. Romans 1:22 says professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. Romans 1:29 tells us that these fools are filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventer of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breatkers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful. Then Romans 1:32 says who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them.
Wow, the above scripture tells us fools have pleasure with other fools that join them in the bars all night bragging about fornication and their drug and alcohol use. These fools know about the judgment of God and how they will die from their sins. But a foolish sinner can escape destruction and have eternal life by accepting Jesus as their God. 1 Corinthians 6:11 says And such were some of you (fornicators, idolators, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind, thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners) but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Proverbs 28:13 further describes a fool saying He (a fool) that covereth his sins shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. I've heard many a fool cover up their sin by saying everybody's shakin up, fornicating, drinking, and smoking weed so it can't be all that bad. Or they'll say my momma and grandpa sinned all their life so I guess I'll sin too. Finally others cover up their sin by saying I sin because it's just the way I am and my nature. But God says at Romans 6:23 the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Then there are other fools who say they never have sinned and are perfect like Sun Yung Moon. Sun Yung Moon is a fool because Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Any fool who covers his sins shall not prosper. Confess and forsake your sins and receive mercy and salvation today from our Lord Jesus.
Instead of being a fool and covering your sin, speak out against sin. Isaiah 58:1 says Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgresson, and the house of Jacob their sins. Be like Billy Sunday pictured above crying out against sin by saying if I got a fist, I'll hit sin, If I got a foot, I'll kick sin, If I got a head, I'll butt sin, If I got teeth, I'll bite sin, and if I got dentures, I'll take them out and gum the devil and his sin to death.
And the book of Philippians describes a fool at Philippians 3:18 that says For many walk of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ. Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. Wow this scripture really describes many fools around us. Fools enjoy sinning and glory in the shame of their sins and note that their end is destruction. Pictured above Proverbs 28:6 tells us Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. Proverbs 15:17 says Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. Proverbs 17:1 says Better is a dry morsel and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices and strife.
And look at Proverbs 27:22 that says Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle; yet will not his foolishness depart from him. Solomon was speaking about how wheat used to be brayed or beaten in a mortar with a pestle hammer to remove the wheat's impurities. In other words if you beat a fool with a pestle hammer in a mortar among wheat, the fool would remain a fool or if you surround a fool with a group of saved saints in a church, the fool is still a fool only trying to blend in with a crowd of saints. Only Jesus and not people can save anyone. Acts 4:12 says Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
And Proverbs 29:1 describes a fool that refuses to receive correction saying He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. Proverbs 7:22-23 describes fools that refuse warnings to stop fornicating saying He goeth after her (a harlot prostitute) straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter; or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
And look at Proverbs 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil; But her end is bitter as wormwood; sharp as a twoedged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. Proverbs 6:26 says For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread; and the adultress will hunt for the precious life. Proverbs 21:9 says It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. Proverbs 21:19 says It is better to dwell in the wilderness than (shaking and fornicating) with a contentious and an angry woman. But Hebrews 13:4 says Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Stop fornicating and get married by an anointed preacher and get blessed by Jesus today.
Now let's see what the bible has to say about fools that gather together in nightclubs and bars all night drinking alcohol, fornicating, and taking drugs. God calls these fools the congregation of the dead. Proverbs 21:16 says The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead. And the bible goes on to say that fools that gather together in the congregation of the dead in bars all night loving pleasure shall be poor. Proverbs 21:17 says He that loveth pleasure (partying in bars all night) shall be a poor man; he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
These fools will not receive reproofs of correction and remain in sin. It's like a man that says I was born a Catholic and I'm gonna die a Catholic. I don't want your Jesus; don't talk to me about your Jesus because I don't want to be born again. But a wise man will listen to reproofs of correction from the bible and stop sinning. Proverbs 6:23 says For the commandment is a lamp and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.
Brother Bob tells my friends everywhere don't be a fool; Be wise and heed to Matthew 10:28 pictured above And fear not them which kill the body but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him (The Lord Jesus) which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Someone told me that the government watches every web site you visit on the internet because ads that relate to your searches appear. But Jesus also watches everything we do daily. Proverbs 15:3 says The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. Hebrews 4:13 says Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight; but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. Live each day knowing that Jesus is always watching you and avoid sinning.
Alright, the Psalms describe a fool as a person that refuses to believe that Jesus is God. The majority of the 7 billion people on planet earth are fools because they do not believe that Jesus is God. Psalm 14:1 and Psalm 53:1 say The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they and have done abominable iniquity; (note a fool is corrupt and abominable in God's sight) there is none that doeth good. One day an atheist sitting on a porch said to a little boy walking with his bible to Sunday school, I'll give you an apple if you can tell me where God is. The little boy replied, I'll give you a barrel of apples if you can tell me where God is not.
When I think about atheist fools that don't believe in God, I think about Madalyn Murray OHair who was the President of Atheists for America that had a membership of over 10000 atheists. Madalyn was best known for her successful campaign in 1962 to have prayer removed from the classroom. But she didn't stop there. Madalyn wanted prayer to be banned from outer space.
Ms OHair after hearing words of prayer radioed to earth by christian astronaut Buzz Aldrin pictured above and his fellow astronauts as they circled the moon said I think the astronauts were ill advised and that this is a tragic situation. As a result, Ms. OHair went to Washington DC where she registered an official protest against the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) which she accused of prompting and coercing the astronauts to schedule the prayer in outer space.
Madalyn's protest was rejected by the United States Supreme Court for lack of jurisdiction. As a result, NASA asked Buzz Aldrin to refrain from quoting the bible in the Apollo 11 mission but Buzz was allowed to conduct the first communion service for our Lord Jesus in outer space.
But it didn't end well for Ms. OHair. Ms OHair was found dead and murdered with her son and granddaughter also murdered three years after their disappearance in 1997. The murderer abducted and killed them while stealing all of the money owned by the American Atheist organization (three quarters of a million dollars). Truly Ms. OHair experienced the death of a fool described at Proverbs 11:19 that says As righteousness tendeth to life; so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
You see folks, there is no neutral ground. Either a person follows Jesus and lives or follows sin as a fool and dies. Proverbs 8:34 says Blessed is the man that heareth me (Jesus who is wisdom), watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me (Jesus) findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul; all they that hate me love death.
I end today's bible study by saying that fools don't realize the danger of laughing and telling everyone I'll be in hell partying and drinking beer forever enjoying sin with all my buddies. These fools don't realize that their sin without repentance to the Lord Jesus will place them in hell to be tormented forever in everlasting fire suffering eternally.
Proverbs 9:17 says Stolen waters are sweet; and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her (sin's) guests are in the depths of hell. Hebrews 11:25 says the pleasures of sin are only for a season. But according to Psalm 16:11 the pleasures with Jesus are forevermore. Stolen waters might be sweet for a season but the end result is torment in hell forever without any repentance with Jesus.
Pictured above note what God says to the fool that has rejected many offers of salvation from our Lord Jesus. God says at Proverbs 1:24 Because I have called and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand and no man regarded. But ye have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof; I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; when your fear cometh as desolation and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Proverbs 1:28 goes on to say Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer. They shall seek me early but shall not find me. For that they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord. They would none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. but whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
These scriptures warn us that a fool can sin to a place where he can't return to Jesus. Friend don't be a fool and today right now stop sinning and make Jesus God of your life, believing that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. God says at 2 Corinthians 6:2 I have heard thee in a time accepted; and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee; behold now is the accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation.
