Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 26. I will then key in on verses 4 & 5 - Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. Friends, these verses are very interesting. First off, when we hear fools talking we know that their speech is foolishness. You then have a decision to make - do you just ignore him (her), or do you try to correct them? There is a good chance if you try to correct them that they will continue their discourse (and it ends up being a waste of time). On today's podcast we will be continuing our study of the Book of Romans. Today we will be going over Chapter 8, verse 9-14. By the end of today's lesson there are three things I ask that you consider:
1. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him.
2. Since Christians live in the Spirit they are no longer captive to the flesh and should no longer live according to the flesh.
3. All who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Scriptures referenced on today's podcast:
Proverb 26:4-5; Romans 8:9-14; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Jude - verse 19 (there is only 1 chapter in this book); Acts 16:7
Call to Action - When you are deciding to partake in an activity and the Holy Spirit checks you (tells you NOT to do it) do you listen to Him? or do you continue on? The Holy Spirit is the teacher, and should be our guide. We should listen to Him.
