This episode mostly addresses the transition from the kingdom of fools to the kingdom of God’s beloved son. All saints once partook of the kingdom of fools. Indulging in lusts is the tell-tale sign of fools, and Paul, an outwardly righteous Jew according to Philippians 3:6, acknowledges that he also pursued lusts: “we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath.”(Ephesians 3:3) Forgiveness marks the believer’s transfer from the kingdom of darkness (fools) into the kingdom of God’s beloved Son (Colossians 1:13). Confession that Christ is Lord begins the life-long process of extracting residual foolishness from saints in Christ’s kingdom. The episode emphasizes cooperation with the Holy Spirit, who constantly convicts and corrects believers, admonishing them to abandon all sympathy with fooldom. The program also includes 3 criteria that hearers can use to assess their progress in repudiating fooldom.
