Use these questions on your own or with a friend to help you apply Wednesday night’s message to your life.
What does being foolish mean to you?
The Webster definition for foolish is resulting from or showing a lack of sense; ill-considered; unwise.
It’s interesting to note that being wise is an antonym of being foolish.
Tonight’s message was about how our choices determine our destinaiton. How do you see that in your own life?
Mike asked the question tonight “have you ever done something that you regret?” Come up with one and think about all of the things that led up to that decision. If we look closely enough we can see that there are many choices along the way that lead up to some disastrous decisions; just like King David in 2 Samuel 11. Go ahead and read through that story and look at the many times that David makes mistakes. (Hint: verse 1)
One of the points Mike made tonight was “As you make choices, don’t ask , is there anything ‘wrong with this’?” How does that question become a slippery slope? How have you seen this in your life? How can you keep from this? How have you learned from a bad decision in your past?
Mike then told us about how we can’t trust our feelings. Why is this so?
The last point that Mike made was to rescue yourself from choices that you will regret. How can you be more aware of regretful decisions in your life? Who can you go to in a time of distress or temptation?
