Don’t Be Stupid

Memory Verse:
Ephesians 5:17 CEV
Don't be stupid. Instead, find out what the Lord wants you to do.

Ecclesiastes 7

You will never fully know your purpose until you begin to know your Savior.

In the Bible, righteousness is to wickedness what wisdom is to stupidity. And it’s clear - we have a choice.

Attaining wisdom isn’t the same things as living in wisdom.

Wisdom isn’t only about making good decisions; it is about becoming the kind of person who can recognize God’s voice and follow it.

How to grow wise:

Study Scripture

Listen to correction.

Surround yourself with wise people.

The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.
-CS Lewis

Don’t be stupid means don’t live as if God’s wisdom is optional; it means stop trusting your instincts more than God’s Word.
