RE Verse reading–Luke 12:13-21, 16:19-31, James 5:1-6 (day three) “I will pull down my barns and build larger. . .I will store all my grain. . .I will say to my soul. . .relax. . .be merry. And God said. . .You fool!” (12:18-19) Proverbs has much to say about fools and their folly. “He who spreads slander is a fool.” (10:18) “A fool is right in his own eyes.” (12:15) The Scripture (all parts) strongly denies that all decisions are equal. All roads DO NOT lead up the same mountain! This is a foolish way to think re. medicine. Got cancer? Take Nyquil. Nonsense! Why do we believe it re. philosophy and ethics? All choices are not equal. Jesus said a person is a fool to ignore eternity. A person is a fool who uses all of his resources for himself and remains unconcerned and uninvolved with the needs of others. Like the old saying goes, “There is no fool like a gold fool”. . .or something like that.
