In this Sunday Bible study from Eagle Pass, I continued our multi-week series on wisdom in Proverbs, focusing on how to identify, avoid, and respond to fools from a biblical perspective. We walked through key passages—Proverbs 14:7, Proverbs 9:6, Psalm 14:1, Psalm 53:1, Psalm 74, Proverbs 10:23 , Proverbs 1:7, 1:22 , 12:15 , 14:6, 14:8, 15:2, 20:3, 10:18 , Ecclesiastes 7:9, Luke 12:16 –21—and explored traits like denying God’s existence, blasphemy, making light of sin, loving mischief, despising wisdom and instruction, self-deception, trusting one’s own heart, meddling, slander, and unrighteous anger. I emphasized the call to guard our hearts with Scripture rather than emotions, resist the influence of foolish voices, and prioritize the Lord’s Day and the gathering of the saints. We closed with a practical encouragement to pray for Sundays, pursue biblical counsel, and live with eternity in view rather than short-term gain or applause.

Resources and references mentioned include Scripture readings throughout Proverbs, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, Luke 12, and notes on Matthew 5’s millennial context. I also invited listeners to reach out via joeroos.com with questions and topic ideas, and shared service times for First Baptist Church of Eagle Pass for those seeking a KJV Bible-believing church in the area.
