How We Play The Fool
The Atheist is a fool.
We make a mockery a sin.
Pro
We trust in our own minds.
When we do, we have no sense.
We Substitute excuses for faith in Christ.
We Christians do not walk with the Lord in the light of His Word.
When we trust in our own mind or other men.
Conclulsion: The wise man is he who receives the Lord Jesus Christ into his heart and acquaints himself with the Lord by reading and doing His Word.
