The Danger of Foolish Living (10)
Series: Chasing the Wind-A Study of Ecclesiastes

Eccl. 9:13-10:20
Do you ever look back at a younger you and think... what was a I thinking? Do you have decisions you regret, choices you'd choose differently today. Younger... how about THIS WEEK.
- Everyone from time to time makes foolish choices. We have moments and we can have seasons of foolishness. But make no mistake, foolishness is dangerous. It ends in peril. -- And while even the faithful Christ follower does foolish things ... apart from Christ we are given to foolishness, inclined toward folly.
- Walking with Christ as a believer involves walking in wisdom and avoiding foolish living. This morning I want us to see the danger of foolish living from Ecclesiastes and I want to point you to the one the delivers from foolish living.

- His saving wisdom shows the power of wisdom. When all seemed to be going under, a poor wise man saves a tiny city from a great king. This is David and Goliath type proportions.--- One is a great fighter... bu ...
