“Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.” Pr18.1 ESV
It is said that there is safety in numbers. Of course all such statements have conditions that give meaning to them. If someone runs with a crowd of fools, then such numbers may wind up putting them at risk. The wisdom offered to us in the words above, also has conditions. Good ole common sense coming from good ole common folk makes good sense to follow. And, when a person runs off half cocked doing there own thing, they not only break out against all sound judgment, the good fruit of good people will stand in contrast to the bad fruit of a rebellious life and prove it so.
What is tragic beyond measure, is when a society as a whole, gradually abandons its belief that God has spoken and that every word of God is true, then the whole of society breaks out against all sound judgment and its common sense has foolishness as its common denominator. In such a society there is anything but safety in numbers. The good has been taken out of its common sense and is replaced by camaraderie of relativism, where nothing is truly right or wrong. History bears out that when this happens such societies are soon swept away. 1/18/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
