Podcasts about Folly

An invitation to a free banquet sounds like a good opportunity. But before we tuck in our napkins, we should know who the host is and what it is they offer. Not every free meal is a blessing. Dr. John concludes his series of "Wisdom Matters" with the portrayal of two banquets - one hosted by Wisdom and the other by Folly. Consider which table will leave us satisfied! Wisdom Matters: Is it better to be wealthy, good looking, successful, popular or wise? If any Christian isn't sure of the answer, then Proverbs has something to say! In this 10-message series, Dr. John will point us to wisdom that shapes our living. Proverbs doesn't guarantee us wealth or popularity, but it does promise the blessings of God.

11 September 2025 Daily Devotion: "The Folly of Self-Comparison" 2 Corinthians 10:12 English Standard Version 12 Not that we dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding. How often do you find yourself comparing your life to someone else's? Comparison seems to be the name of the game these days. It's tempting to compare our incomes, the behavior of our children, and even our talents to those around us.The problem with this game is that nobody wins. Either you come up short and feel discouraged, or the other person comes up short and you feel prideful. Either way, God is not glorified when we compare ourselves to one another. Our goal is to keep up with Jesus and not the Joneses. He's the standard by which we live. We're to be seeking the things that are above and not comparing the things that are below. Let's end the comparison game; it'll never lead to a joyful life. We'll begin to experience joy when we're more concerned with how we compare to our Savior than to our neighbor.

Ever struggled to tell the difference between right and wrong choices?  In today's episode, host Gaby Alessi guides us through Proverbs 9 as we unpack the invitations of Wisdom and Folly. Together, we'll explore how both can sound strikingly similar—offering us guidance and promises—but lead to very different destinations. As a community, we'll reflect on how to recognize the voice of wisdom, the fruit it bears, and how to intentionally choose insight over confusion.Join us in prayer and devotion as we seek God's guidance, asking Him to lead us away from foolishness and into a life marked by wisdom and everlasting purpose.Want to get resources related to this episode?

Dave and Bethlie continue their  multi-part series on the book Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp.   PART 3 4.  His comments about the ROD are really good in chapter 11 Children are not born morally and ethically neutral If they are they don't need correction, just direction If they are not, then they need correction Our child's problem is that he or she is a sinner! p. 102. Folly is the problem we have to address according to proverbs Folly is not childishness Folly describes the person who does not fear God A fools life is run by his desires and fears The fool lives out of the immediacy of his lusts, cravings, expectations, hopes, and fears The issue is authority Will a child live under the authority of God and his parents? Will he/she live under their own authority? All children choose to live under their own authority: I don't want my diaper changed I don't want to sit quietly at the table during this meal You are going to make me and if you do I will scream and throw a huge fit Leave this to take root and grow, and it produces “a rebellious teenager who will not allow anyone to rule him.” “God has ordained the rod of discipline for this condition.” p. 103 “Confrontation, with the immediate and undeniably tactile sensation of a spanking, renders an implacable child sweet.” (p. 103) The quote on p 103 is massively important            4.  The rod's function It imparts wisdom Pr 29:15, which is tied to the fear of god “It creates an atmosphere in which instruction can be given. The spanking renders the child compliant and ready to receive life-giving words.”  (p 104) Tripp deals with the question - don't all children eventually learn to obey? He say NO!! Proverbs 29:15, 17

Pastor Snook continues his sermon series on Living Life Backward in this sermon based on Ecclesiastes 10:1-20.We're reminded that wisdom isn't just about intelligence or creativity, but about diligence and character. The image of dead flies in perfume vividly illustrates how small acts of foolishness can spoil a lifetime of good reputation. This calls us to examine our lives: Are there 'flies' - small sins or bad habits - that we're allowing to taint our testimony? The message urges us to be especially mindful of our speech, comparing unwise words to a serpent's venom. How often do we unleash destructive gossip or criticism without considering the consequences? Yet our words also have the power to bless and encourage. As we reflect on these truths, we're challenged to live with greater intentionality, to guard our hearts and tongues, and to love one another as Christ loved us. This is how we truly demonstrate our faith to a watching world.

Psalm 14 is a sobering reflection on the corruption of the human heart apart from God. David begins with the blunt declaration, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.'” This psalm confronts us with the reality that all have turned aside and fallen short, yet it also points to God's faithfulness to His people and His promise to be their refuge. It reveals both the seriousness of rejecting God and the hope found in His presence with the righteous.Here are some things we'll learn from Psalm 14:· Why denying God leads to moral collapse and brokenness in every generation.· How David's words show the universality of sin: none are righteous on their own.· The assurance that God is with His people, even when the world mocks or rejects Him.· How this psalm stirs in us a longing for salvation and restoration that only God can bring.· How Jesus answers the cry of Psalm 14.

Proverbs 29:15, 17 The rod defined - p. 104 “The rod is a parent, in faith toward God and faithfullness toward his or her children, undertaking the responsibility of careful, timely, measured, and controlled use of physical punishment to underscore the importance of obeying God, thus rescuing the child from continuing in his foolishness unto death.”  It is a parental exercise It is an act of faith in God and His Word It is an act of faithfulness - an expression of love and comitment It is an act of responsibility - not a parent determining to punish, but a parent determining to obey It is an act of physical punishment Not venting or parental anger Not frustration Not based on a feeling of my child is bothering me It is always measured and controlled It is a rescue mission Rescues the child from continuing in foolishness To ignore your child's rebellion against God's authority is to ultimately brings God's greater chastisement into their lives. The Rod clarified Not unbridled temper Not the right to hit my child Not venting or frustration not retribution Not payment but restoration Not vindictive The Rod objected I love my child too much too spank You love yourself too much to spank them I am afraid I will hurt them “Biblically-balanced discipline never physically endangers a child” I am afraid it will make him rebellious and angry Proverbs 29:17 teaches the exact opposite I am afraid it will teach them to hit Only if you spank in anger It doesn't work It doesn't when you spank in anger or out-of-control It doesn't when you are inconsistent It doesn't when you fail to be persistent It doesn't when you aren't effective I could be arrested for child abuse Only spank in the privacy of your home and do it right

We bring you something a little lighter and more fanciful on this Labor Day holiday on Sustainability Now!, as your host, Justin Mog, shelves his plans for colonizing Mars with Barry Zalph, retired engineer and environmental advocate. Tune in for a conversation that will debunk some of the myths about our ability to successfully settle humans on Mars and, hopefully, help you understand just how precious Earth is and how important it is that we focus all of our energy and innovation into protecting the only truly habitable planet we know of. The ideas for colonizing Mars fall into two categories: Living underground for protection from the radiation that bombards the surface; and terraforming Mars to make it more suitable for human habitation. Tune in to hear more about Barry's top ten list of the stupidest assumptions behind the “terraforming” idea: 1) We can increase the density of the Martian atmosphere by 160x; 2) We can shift the Martian atmosphere from 96% CO2 to match the earth's atmosphere; 3) We can control the CO2 concentration of the reconstituted atmosphere to 350 ppm +/- 100 ppm, outside of which humans can't function; 4) We can bring enough organisms from earth to build not one but many diverse, resilient ecosystems there, so that inevitable fluctuations in ecosystem health don't collapse all life on the planet; 5) We can bring enough small and large animals, not just microbes and plants, to reproduce without inbreeding; 6) We can function well with the day length, year length, sky color, solar radiation, solar wind, weather, clouds, gravity, magnetic field, etc. all different from that with which we have evolved for millions of years; 7) The first group of colonists, no more than a couple hundred, didn't die of boredom, claustrophobia, mutual murder, and alienation while living underground and slaving toward an impossible terraformed utopian ideal; 8) The resident population of Earth would keep busting their asses to provide the ludicrous amounts of energy, materials, and labor over at least 100 years in an attempt to fulfill this dream; 9) There is no life on Mars, or any life on Mars can coexist with our living systems or deserves to be killed off to make room for us; and 10) It is ethically sound for us to colonize another planet.

“Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.” - ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭15‬ ‭ESV‬‬“A youngster's heart is filled with foolishness, but physical discipline will drive it far away.” ‭‭- Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭15‬ ‭NLT‬‬“Although rebellion is woven into a young man's heart, tough discipline can make him into a man.” - Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭15‬ ‭TPT‬‬

From Puddle Jumper to Love Bug, or the proudly self-deprecating Rolling Turd, millions of Americans are naming their cars with a little personality. A new survey of 2,000 Americans found one in three has a nickname for their car, with Buttercup's Folly, The Slug and Old Flame some of the monikers dished out to vehicles.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, The NYPD is trying to force dozens of officers and recruits who failed to meet the department's standards to resign — but the effort faced a roadblock after a state judge blocked the move.Two men who went to prison as teenagers for a 1994 killing were exonerated Thursday, after prosecutors said new DNA testing and a fresh look at other evidence made it impossible to stand by the convictions.And in Washington, President Trump said in a letter that he will raise taxes on imported goods from Canada to 35%, deepening a rift between two North American countries that have suffered a debilitating blow to their decades-old alliance.

John 12 brings us to the final public words of Jesus before He turns to the cross. After years of miraculous signs, fulfilled prophecies, and gracious teaching, the people still refused to believe. This passage confronts us with the sobering reality of unbelief, yet it also reveals the unshakable sovereignty of God in bringing His redemptive plan to pass. What seems like human rejection becomes the very means through which salvation is extended to the world.Here we see the contrast between the fragile glory of man and the eternal glory of Christ. We hear the voice of a Savior who does not remain silent or indifferent but cries out with urgency, offering light to those in darkness and life to those dead in sin. This sermon reminds us that God is sovereign, God is just, and yet God is merciful—pleading even now with sinners to come to Him while there is still time.Key Points: 1. The Folly of Unbelief 2. The Sovereignty of God 3. The Pursuit of Man's Praise 4. The Final PleaUnbelief hardens. Man's glory fades. But God's Word endures, His plan prevails, and His Son still calls: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.”

Marc Malusis blasted the Dallas Cowboys for their "moronic" decision to trade Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, calling it a gift to the rest of the NFC East. He declared that the Giants were the biggest winners of the day, as their schedule just got easier with the Cowboys becoming a "significantly weaker team." He also touched on the Jets, stating that expectations for the team this season should be low, focusing instead on building a new foundation under their new head coach, Aaron Glenn.

In today's Morning Manna, we explored Proverbs 10:17-18, where Solomon contrasts those who embrace correction with those who reject reproof and hide hatred behind deceitful speech. True wisdom leads us on the path of life, but a stubborn refusal to learn results in wandering and destruction. We also uncover how concealed bitterness and slander corrode the heart, relationships, and testimony of the believer. This teaching calls us to humility, integrity, and a guarded tongue.Teachers: Rick Wiles and Doc BurkhartYou can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.Get high-quality emergency preparedness food today from American Reserves!AmericanReserves.comIt's the Final Day!

Washington State just handed a Florida shipyard a contract worth $714 million dollars to build three new hybrid-electric ferries. For the first time in decades, these boats won't be built here at home, and the ripple effects are already hitting taxpayers, local shipyards, and the reliability of our ferry system.The story is bigger than dollars and steel. It's about climate mandates, political choices, and whether Washington's Climate Commitment Act is driving policy off course. Supporters call this progress. Critics say it's a hidden tax that inflates costs, outsources jobs, and delivers little global impact for a very high local price.Is this really in our best interest, or is it a case study in failed public policy?

Atheism says there's no God, but functional atheism says there's no God right here right now. Pastor Jonathan Fitzgerald continues our summer series with a sermon from Psalm 14.

In today's Morning Manna, we explore Proverbs 10:13-16 and uncover the contrast between wisdom and folly, preparation and destruction, righteousness and sin. Solomon teaches that the wise store up knowledge and guard their lips, while the foolish invite ruin with careless words. We also examine how true security is not found in riches but in walking in God's ways, where righteous labor produces life and eternal reward. Join us as we dig into God's Word and discover how wisdom builds while foolishness destroys.  Teachers:  Rick Wiles and Doc BurkhartYou can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.Get high-quality emergency preparedness food today from American Reserves!AmericanReserves.comIt's the Final Day!

Today's Morning Manna takes us back to the days of Noah, when the world was filled with corruption, yet one man found grace in the eyes of the Lord. From Genesis 6:1–8 and Hebrews 11:7, we learn a powerful lesson in faith — a faith that believes God's warning, obeys His command, and perseveres despite ridicule. Noah built the ark not because it made sense to the world, but because he trusted the Word of God. His obedience preserved his household, and his example still speaks to us today. In this episode, we explore what it means to walk with God in a faith that looks beyond the present, preparing for things not yet seen, and trusting that God's grace is enough to carry us through.Teachers: Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart.You can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.Get high-quality emergency preparedness food today from American Reserves!AmericanReserves.comIt's the Final Day!

Will disciplining children for tantrums and outbursts damage their willingness to share feelings and communicate openly? Discover four biblical principles that show how proper discipline actually strengthens rather than harms parent-child relationships.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction: The Heart of a Torn Parent1:09 - The Core Question About Discipline and Relationship1:33 - Principle 1: Spankings Are Not the Only Thing We Do2:57 - Principle 2: Spankings Are for Sin, Not Feelings3:31 - Clarifying What We Punish vs. What We Discuss4:21 - Teaching Children to Identify Their Sin5:15 - Principle 3: Discipline Is Parental Obedience to God5:39 - Proverbs 13:24 - Love Disciplines Diligently6:31 - Building Character Through Parental Integrity6:57 - Principle 4: Spanking Is Not the Last Step7:45 - The Lambert House Rule: Don't Leave Angry8:22 - Ending Discipline with Prayer, Grace, and Restoration8:44 - When Discipline Goes Wrong vs. RightMAIN POINTS- Spankings Are Not the Only Thing We DoPhysical correction should be a very small percentage of overall parenting time. Parents who discipline have earned that right through much larger investments of positive relationship building. - Discipline is placed within a broader context of love and care throughout daily life.- Spankings Are for Sin, Not Feelings or PreferencesChildren should never be punished for having feelings, needing to talk, or making mistakes. - Discipline is specifically for sin - violations of God's law. Parents must clearly communicate the difference between emotions that need discussion and sinful behaviors that require correction.- Discipline Is Parental Obedience That Models IntegrityFollowing Proverbs 13:24, parents demonstrate love through diligent discipline. This shows children that parents have integrity and follow God's commands, building rather than undermining confidence in the parent-child relationship over a lifetime.- Discipline Should End with Restoration, Not AngerThe Lambert house rule was to never leave discipline sessions angry. After confession, forgiveness, and correction, the process should end with prayer, grace, and often laughter and affection. The goal is restoring the relationship broken by sin through faithfulness to God's Word.SCRIPTURE REFERENCESPrimary Passages:Proverbs 13:24 - Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline himSupporting Context:Proverbs 22:15 - Folly is bound up in the heart of a childProverbs 23:13-14 - Do not withhold discipline from a childHebrews 12:5-11 - God disciplines those he lovesEphesians 6:1-4 - Children obey parents; fathers don't provoke to angerDeuteronomy 6:6-7 - Teaching children diligentlyColossians 3:21 - Fathers, do not embitter your childrenHave a question you'd like answered?

"""How the wise dies just like the fool!”In this sobering passage, Solomon considers whether wisdom—so highly prized by the world—can provide lasting meaning in life. He concedes that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness. Yet both the wise and the foolish face the same end: death. Both are forgotten in time. So what lasting advantage is there to even the best-ordered life lived “under the sun”?This message explores Solomon's reflections on the futility of human wisdom when divorced from the fear of the Lord. Drawing connections with Genesis 3 and the effects of the Fall, we see that all human striving—whether in pleasure or prudence—is subject to the curse of vanity.But there is a wisdom that transcends this world: the wisdom that begins with the fear of God and finds its fulfillment in Christ. He is the Wisdom of God, the One who gives eternal life to all who trust in Him.Sermon Text: Ecclesiastes 2:12–17Theme: Worldly wisdom cannot escape the vanity of death.Key Verse: “What happens to the fool will happen to me also. Why then have I been so very wise?” (Ecclesiastes 2:15)

Proverbs 24:3-12

08/24/2025 - Chris Randall - The King's Folly: Vashti's Defiance and Removal (Esther 1:10-22) by Faith Community Church of South Boston, VA

1 A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold. 2 The rich and the poor have this in common: Yahweh is the maker of them all. 3 A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. 4 The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life. 5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked; whoever guards his soul stays from them. 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. 7 The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender. 8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed. 9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor. 10 Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop. 11 He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully is the king's friend. 12 Yahweh's eyes watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful. 13 The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!" 14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit. He who is under Yahweh's wrath will fall into it. 15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline drives it far from him. 16 Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty. 17 Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching. 18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips. 19 I teach you today, even you, so that your trust may be in Yahweh. 20 Haven't I written to you thirty excellent things of counsel and knowledge, 21 To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you? 22 Don't exploit the poor because he is poor; and don't crush the needy in court; 23 for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them. 24 Don't befriend a hot-tempered man. Don't associate with one who harbors anger, 25 lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul. 26 Don't you be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts. 27 If you don't have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you? 28 Don't move the ancient boundary stone which your fathers have set up. 29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won't serve obscure men. Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

Former NSC official Lt. Col. (Ret.) Alexander Vindman joins The Burn Bag to break down the fallout from the Trump–Putin summit in Alaska, the Monday meeting between Trump, Zelenskyy, and European leaders at the White House, and the dangerous trajectory of U.S. diplomacy on Ukraine. A former NSC Director for European Affairs and key Trump impeachment witness, Lt. Col. Vindman argues that Trump's ad hoc engagement with Putin diminished U.S. credibility, granted Putin international legitimacy, and undermined Ukraine's sovereignty. He discusses Putin's proposed land-for-peace deal, Zelenskyy's constrained agency, and the risk that Washington's approach trades away strategic leverage for short-term optics. Lt. Col. Vindman and A'ndre discuss discuss whether Monday's White House Summit of Trump, Zelenskyy, and European allies actually showcased unity, in addition to the current state of the war. The former NSC official offers a candid assessment of what's at stake—for Ukraine, for Europe, and for American credibility on the global stage.Read Lt. Col. Vindman's new book, The Folly of Realism, here.

In today's Morning Manna, we examined the deadly appeal of foolishness masquerading as wisdom. The foolish woman extends her invitation to the simple, luring them with promises of secret pleasures and stolen delights. But what looks sweet soon turns bitter—her house is filled with the dead, and her path leads straight to hell. This sobering passage reminds us that every invitation must be weighed not by how it feels, but by where it leads.

In today's Morning Manna, we examine how Solomon reveals the true character of foolishness—not quiet ignorance, but loud, seductive ignorance. The foolish woman is portrayed as clamorous and confidently deceitful, setting herself in a public place to ensnare those who are walking in the right way. Her aim is to divert the upright with noise, boldness, and imitation of wisdom. This passage is a warning: the enemy often disguises danger with volume, visibility, and false appeal.  Teachers:  Rick Wiles and Doc BurkhartYou can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.Get high-quality emergency preparedness food today from American Reserves!AmericanReserves.comIt's the Final Day!
