True Wisdom Is Crying Aloud - WHY PEOPLE REJECT TRUE WISDOM -Continue

 With good reason, the Bible encourages us not to remain inexperienced but to "become full-grown in  [our] understanding." (1 Corinthians 14:20) We acquire the right kind of experience by applying Bible principles in our life.  Little by little, we learn firsthand how those principles  help us to avoid problems and make wise decisions. We do well to check our progress in this regard. If we have been studying the Bible and attending meetings for some time, we might ask ourselves  why we have not taken the steps to make a dedication to Jehovah and get baptized.  If we are baptized, are we making progress as  a preacher and teacher of the good news?  Do our decisions show that we are guided by Bible principles?  Are we displaying Christian qualities in our dealings with others?  If we see room for improvement, let us pay attention to Jehovah's reminders, which make the inexperienced one wise.' - PSALM 19:7.

The second group of people who ignore godly wisdom are the "ridiculers."  At times, we come across such individuals in our work.  The enjoy mocking others. (2 Psalm 123:4) The Bible warned that in the last days, there would be no shortage of ridiculers.  (1 Peter 3:3, 4) Like the son-in-law of righteous Lot, some people today pay no attention to divine warnings. Genesis 19:14)  Many laugh art those who live by Bible principles.  The ridiculers are motivated by "their ow desires for ungodly things." (Jude 7:17, 18) How well the Bible's description of ridiculers  fits apostates and others who have rejected Jehovah!
