Wisdom
Willfully Stupid
While involved in daily Bible devotions this week from The Message translation, I came across a phrase describing fallen human beings that jumped off the page:
Willfully Stupid.
That same day the United States Senate released its long-awaited and clandestinely-formed bi-partisan “Endless Ukraine War–The Border Never Closes” bill (S.744).
It appears to be “Exhibit A” of our willfully stupid political leaders in Washington, D.C.
Here’s my take on both immigration and Jesus words on moral pollution.

When I Was in My Prime
For the past fifty-one years, I have read the book of Job every August as a part of my daily devotional habit.
Job is one of the unsung heroes of Scripture who wrote one of the oldest books in the Bible. Most scholars believe he lived near the time of the patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob). His honesty is refreshing (you can argue with God!), and his repentance at the end of the story is powerful.
After calamity struck, Job reminisced about being in his “prime.”
I’ve come to believe that the prime of life may not be what you think.
A Loss of Wisdom Means a Nation of Fools
Nothing is more obvious in the Western World today (to those who paying attention) than the loss of wisdom or common sense.
Killing unborn babies is good. Choose your own sex despite your biology. Don’t prosecute criminals. Open the southern border. America is racist (though it elected Barack Obama twice). Socialism/communism is good. Free speech should be censored. Have sex with whoever you want.
And on and on.
We are becoming a nation of fools–and better wise up before it’s too late.
