The Wise Vs. The Fool: Proverbs Pt. 2

In this message from Proverbs, Mick Murray defines the difference between the wise and the fool, noting that it comes down to a posture of listening. Drawing from over a dozen passages in Proverbs, the sermon traces a consistent thread: the wise receive commandments, desire to understand, heed advice and restrain their words, while the foolish talk too much, vent without restraint and dismiss or even reject correction. Wisdom is not merely about having information, but about the skillful application of that information; the fool is simply the absence of wisdom, just as darkness is the absence of light.
