In studying to teach on Matthew 12 this coming Sunday, I was perusing some of my notes and books and Bibles. Inside the front cover of one of my Bibles, I found a quote written down from years ago, but I cannot remember who wrote it. It was nonetheless powerful:

“Our world is not divided by race, color, gender, or religion. Our world is divided into wise people and fools. And fools divide themselves by race, color, gender, or religion.”

“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice” (Proverbs 12:15, ESV).
