Wise or foolish?

Did you know that "foolishness" is listed together with adultery, murder, blasphemy and other sins?  (Mark 7:20-23)  According to verse twenty-three, foolishness is evil!  Possibly in a later post I'll define what foolishness is Biblically, but for now we can be sure it is the opposite of wisdom!

Consider this verse:  "Dead flies putrefy the perfumer's ointment, And cause it to give off a foul odor; So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor."  Ecclesiastes 10:1

Just a personal thought: there are some things that others would call silly or fun but may actually fall into the category of foolishness!

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
I Corinthians 3:19

Summer Evenings

There's something special about the end of day just as the sun slips low in the western sky (as long as the mosquitoes aren't too bad). I enjoy seeing the soft rays of light shining on the surrounding landscape.

Of course it's wonderful to fly a kite on a warm summer evening!

Sunsets are the "icing on the cake".

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.  Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.

Psalm 19:1-2

The Little White Church in the Neighborhood

I recently had the privilege of speaking in this beautiful historic church.  It actually belongs to a museum now, but permission has been give to hold services there this summer.  It was originally built in the late 1800's, in the country, north of where it now sits in town.  Near it's inception the members were visited by circuit riding preachers.
