Which 2 are true? I bet you were fooled…
Are you wise or foolish? • There’s a difference between being fooled and being foolish • You become a wise or foolish person by the way you respond to influences in your life
Let’s look at your influences • Friends • Adults • Family • TV • Cell phone • Music • Movies • Internet • Games GOD Church
TV shows Music Games Movies Internet FoolishWise List titles in the best fitting column
Those influences are important, because, here’s what a fool is: F ilters nothing out O wns little (takes no responsibility) O beys the flesh L eaves out God
Here’s a wise person W ord as a filter I nvested in people & things S pirit-led E njoys friendship with God
Are you foolish or wise? • Don’t be foolish with the influences… • Become wise by allowing the Word to filter out unacceptable foolishness • You might get fooled, but you can avoid becoming a foolish person It is better to be a poor but wise youth than an old and foolish king. Ecc. 4:13
