April Fool’s Day

~ Which Kind of Fool Are You? ~

 

“There are two ways to be fooled: one is to believe what isn’t true, the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” —Soren Kierkegaard 

 

~ Secular Fool ~

 

I find it interesting to reflect on something Albert Einstein said: “The more I study science the more I believe in God.”

 

Einstein reminds me of a passage in the Bible… “The basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can't see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse” (Romans 1:19-20 msg). 

 

“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” —Mark Twain

 

~ Spiritual Fool ~

 

“Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don't see many of ‘the brightest and the best’ among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families. Isn’t it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these ‘nobodies’ to expose the hollow pretensions of the ‘somebodies’? That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God. Everything that we have — right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start — comes from God by way of Jesus Christ. That’s why we have the saying, ‘If you’re going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God’” (1 Corinthians 1:26-31 msg).

 

Note: This was a favorite passage of one of the Queens of England. She remarked that she was so thankful for the “m” as opposed to “any.”
