The High Cost of Folly: Wisdom’s Warnings from Proverbs 6
The High Cost of Folly: Wisdom’s Warnings from Proverbs 6 is a serious and pastoral look at one of the most straightforward and useful chapters in the book of Proverbs. Solomon talks about the hidden dangers of everyday foolishness in Proverbs 6. He talks about careless words, lazy habits, proud hearts, and secret sins and shows that folly is never harmless, private, or without consequences.
This course follows the Bible’s view of folly as it grows: how it gets people to talk, makes them lazy, makes God angry at things He hates, and finally kills them through moral compromise. Proverbs 6 doesn’t just tell people what to do; it tells them to fear the Lord, be humble, and listen to wisdom’s warnings before sin takes root.
This course is for people who want to grow personally, discipleship, or for use in biblical counseling. It helps students see how living foolishly hurts their spiritual health and choose the path of wisdom that gives life. In a world where foolishness often seems harmless but never is, participants will be able to honestly look at their hearts, humbly accept correction, and walk carefully before the Lord.
“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.” (Proverbs 12:15, ESV)
