I am not aware of anyone normal who is amenable to being called a “fool” or “foolish.” Those words are offensive and pejorative terms that can easily trigger outrage and strife. But truthfully and sadly, all of us have acted like fools and displayed foolishness as sinners who needed and still need God’s saving wisdom in our lives.

Fools and foolishness seem to be multiplying at an unprecedented rate and our culture is suffering greatly because of it. Believers must avoid this lifestyle and display God’s wisdom (Jam. 3:13–18).
