In this message, Pastor Lloyd examines Paul’s response to the foolish accusations made against him by false teachers. Scripture warns us not to answer a fool according to his folly, yet there are times when wisdom calls us to speak up so that foolishness is not mistaken for truth. Paul reluctantly defends himself—not to boast, but to protect the Gospel from those seeking to undermine it. Despite enduring intense hardship, persecution, and suffering for Christ, Paul learned humility and discernment through these trials. His example reminds us of the true danger of foolishness and the importance of standing firm in God’s wisdom and relying on His strength, not our own.
