How to be an Idiot: Fail to Learn from the Experiences of Others

How to be an Idiot

As Paul warned the Corinthians to learn from the early Israelites' mistakes, we should look at the mistakes of individuals in God's Word and in our communities to learn from them. An idiot is wise in his own eyes, but we have been taught to pay attention to the experiences of others.

About 'How to be an Idiot'

The ancient Greeks had a word for it - "idios" - someone consumed with his own interests and opinions. It's the origin of the English word "idiot," someone we regard today as lacking wisdom or good judgment. And, interestingly enough, the Bible has a lot to say about idiots, either painting vivid portraits of individuals relying on their own reasoning or laying out specific warnings about the danger of pursuing our own instincts and desires when they run contrary to Gods Word. In this 12-part series Todd Wagner helps us recognize our innate tendencies to reject wisdom and provides practical insight for living blessed, purposeful lives.
