What will they say about me or you?

This morning I was meditating on the life of Job.  The writer says that he was blameless and upright.  Job honored and worshiped God and kept himself away from evil.  If someone were writing our story could they say that of us?

Job lived thousands of years before Christ.   Is there an excuse or reason in the world why we can’t live like Job or better yet like Christ?

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps.

I Peter 2:21

Wise or foolish? (part 2)

What do the following words have in common?

Stupid, absurd, silly, insane, reckless, ignorant, rash, wicked

You’re right if you said that they are some of the English adjectives which are used to try to capture what the original Greek words “fool”, “foolish”, and “foolishness” meant.  Many of us are very aware that the Bible has a lot to say about the wise person and the fool, but sometimes with familiarity there is vagueness.  Do any of the words above describe some of our thoughts, attitudes, actions or words?

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.  

James 3:17
