Fools

Would you rather be a fool and believe there is a God
than believe in yourself because you others applaud?
Would you rather be a fool and count your life as loss
than gain the world at the cost of rejecting the cross?
Would you rather be a fool and wholly lean on God's Spirit
than claim a wisdom which has no eternal or godly profit?
Would you rather be a fool and obey God's commands
than spend your days as a slave to sin and its demands?
Would you rather be a fool and turn your eyes upon Jesus
than continue to gaze upon things worthless and idolatrous?
Would you rather be a fool and claim Jesus is your Lord & Savior,
than deny He is because doing so would put your life in danger?
Would you rather be a fool and live only to exalt God's name
than pursue and persist in things to bring about your fame?

Would you rather be a fool for Christ or be a fool for the world?
The reality is: It is one or the other!
