My mom taught me that it’s not nice to call someone stupid. So, why did the Bible do it?
The Bible in Proverbs 12 says, “Whoever loves discipline, loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof (or correction) is stupid.” So, what should we learn? Shutting out the discipline of life means you’re closed to growing, to learning, and to being instructed in wise things. Kids listen to your parents. They love you and their correction will help you. Adults, when someone speaks truth into your life, pay attention. And to all of us, when God’s word convicts your heart don’t be stupid. Listen up.
