This sermon was preached by Justin Rogers on February 6, 2023 and is part 4 of the series How to Ruin Your Life.
Mr. T's most famous quote is undoubtedly "Pity the fool", and you should. We should look on someone who lives a life of complete foolishness with a pain in our own eyes at the hardship they are going to face. At the same time, you can't help but think "you did it to yourself", right?
Well the truth is we all do foolish things. We make foolish, whimsical decisions that come back to get us. We have all played the part of the fool.
The book of Proverbs has just a few main characters, and one of them is "the fool". He serves as an example of what not to do. He represents the common mistakes of humanity. He represents the patters of you and me. But it also has the character of the wise person. The example of how to change our patterns of behavior. And it starts with the people you surround yourself with.
