Two ways to be fooled

Today, we live in a society that believes their own truth is true. They don’t look to God’s Word as Truth.

Two ways to be fooled - believing in something not true or not believing what is true. #truth #fooled #bgbg2

There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn’t true: the other is to refuse to believe what is true.

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard


Kierkegaard was a Danish theologian, philosopher, poet, social critic, and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher. He focused on Christian ethics.

Fooled could mean to be tricked or deceived.

But, if we think about it we often can be a fool, as we all have been or still are believing in something not true or refusing to believe truth.

We do this with physical truth, mental truth, emotional truth, spiritual truth, etc.

How can we determine something is true? We can line it up with God‘s Word, the Bible! Does that line up or not?

As I have mentioned plenty of times, we answer to God not man! We need God’s truth in us! We need to line up to His Truth, not ours!

How to line up to God’s Truth

  • Read the Bible
  • Pray
  • Attend Worship
  • Attend Small Groups, Sunday School, Connection Groups, Etc.
  • Surrender to Him
  • Surround yourself with fellow believers
  • Have regular Bible Studies

The list can go on and on. Let God guide you!

The most popular verse on fool is …

“The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good.”

Psalm 14:1

The word fool is used in plenty of other Bible verses including a lot in the Book of Proverbs.

    20th anniversary of the powerful film, “The Passion of the Christ.” In 2004, director Mel Gibson brought to the big screen a visceral and unflinching portrayal of the final hours of Jesus Christ. The film, aptly titled “The Passion of the Christ,” chronicles the agony, betrayal, arrest, torture, and crucifixion of Jesus. Here are some key points to reflect upon:
  • No Bones About It — Jesus is Alive!
    The phrase ‘No Bones About It’ is often used as well to state a fact with no doubt meaning Christ arose from the dead His bones were never found! Jesus Christ is surely alive!
  • Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday)
    Maundy Thursday we don’t hear about this day too much, especially as a Baptist. Holy Week, that starts on Palm Sunday, week before the resurrection of Christ. Maundy Thursday falls the day before Good Friday and Easter. This is just a short write up on this day. #MaundyThursday #HolyThursday
  • Searching for Christ
    Why do we go searching for Christ as if He is lost and someone to be found. We have it wrong it’s the other way around, Christ is seeking us who is lost so we can be found!
  • Spy Wednesday
