Whose Fool Are You

Whose fool are you?

1 Cor 4:10 "We are fools for Christ's sake…"

I recently posted this verse to my facebook account. I was surprised by the responses I received. One of the responses was negative…not unusual for my posts on facebook actually. So I responded to the comment about my belief being an increasingly unsupported premise:

If an increasingly unsupported premise means holding to, believing in, or otherwise grasping something that has no proof or validity; then I am not a fool in that sense. I would be a fool to believe that Obama is a good president who is doing good things for the country...this is increasingly an unsupported premise.

If I were to believe that God is not there; I would have to believe that nothing produced something, or that random chance produced something as perfect as an eye that functions in a way that is not reproducible by human science with long years of deliberate efforts...truly I would be a fool to believe this.

But if I am considered a fool by others for believing in God, considered foolish for living my life for a God who has changed my life in ways that cannot be related in a short period of time...or that I am foolish for preaching His good news about His Son who died for me...then let me be that fool!

So, again I say…whose fool are you?
