Proverbs:26: 1-28

These verses are basically about whether or not to listen to fools and seeing the results of harsh words.

Types of Fools

The Simple Fool-”peti”- influencable, redeemable

The Stubborn Fool-”kesil”- shut down by fear, lazy, unmotivated, prideful

The Mocking Fool-”letz”- meddlesome, quarrelsome, argumentative

The Sensual Fool-”ewil”-charming, hypocritical, smooth talker

The Wicked Fool-”nabal”- deceptive, cruel,

Don’t answer a fool by stooping to his level.

Do respond with truth to prove they don’t know as much as they think they know.

I apologize for being rather short in my message this morning. We are getting ready to leave and go home tomorrow, so there’s been lots of distractions. Friends texting, Dave upsetting the dogs, resulting in them climbing all over me as I try to pay attention and take notes.

A note: You can tune in via YouTube to the service live at noon central time, 10am mountain time, and 11am eastern time.

Another find I just discovered on YouTube is Psalm in Blues which I find very soothing. I’m glad that Dave “obtained” YouTube TV so I can also watch Ariel America. It’s on the Smithsonian Channel which I guess we get on YouTube TV along with his sports stuff.

I’ve also found so many Christian newsletters on Substack and started following them, like Night Owl Christian and Messages from Forsythe.

I pray you all have a blessed Sunday and may your favorite football team win today! 😉
