Bummer News That Turned Out Great!

Opening Scripture:

"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, ‘He catches the wise in their own craftiness.’" – 1 Corinthians 3:19

Introduction: The Test of a Lifetime

Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news and bad news.

First, the bad news: I recently had to take an IQ test—not just any test, but a secular IQ test filled with worldly wisdom, woke values, and religiously educated nonsense that left Jesus out completely.

And guess what? I FAILED.

I didn’t just fail—I set a new record for rock-bottom scores! I was so low on their scale that they had to create a new category just for me: "Too Dumb to Debate."

According to their elite, self-appointed wise men, I’m dumber than a stump and should probably avoid sharp objects and doors without push signs.

But before the sorrow overtook me, I did something radical—I took the Biblical IQ Test, answering the same kinds of questions, but from God’s perspective instead of the world’s.

Guess what? I NAILED IT! 🎯

Point 1: The World’s Wisdom is Foolishness to God

The Bible warns us about so-called “wisdom” that leaves out God:

• "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." – Romans 1:22

• "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." – Proverbs 9:10

  
  

Let’s be honest: the world’s version of wisdom is a mess:

• A man can be a woman today, and tomorrow, a dragon? 🐉

• Evil is called good, and good is called evil (Isaiah 5:20).

• They think you can be "your own god" (Genesis 3:5) but can't even fix breakfast without reading the instructions on a cereal box!

  
  

The truth is, I didn’t fail their test—their test failed reality!

Point 2: The Bible’s Wisdom Stands Forever

So, let’s compare my results on both IQ tests:

Question	World’s Answer	Biblical Answer	Score
What is the purpose of life?	"To be happy and do whatever makes you feel good!"	"Fear God and keep His commandments." (Ecclesiastes 12:13)	✅
Where did we come from?	"Random cosmic accident, billions of years ago."	"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)	✅
What happens after we die?	"Nothing, we just stop existing."	"It is appointed unto man once to die, and after this the judgment." (Hebrews 9:27)	✅
Who is the most important person in history?	"A tie between Karl Marx, Oprah, and Beyoncé."	"Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever!" (Hebrews 13:8)	✅
What is a woman?	"Uh... we are still researching that."	"Male and female He created them." (Genesis 5:2)	✅

According to THEIR standards, I was a complete failure. But according to GOD’S standards… I ROCKED IT! 🎸💥

Point 3: My Name is on the Roll That Matters!

Here’s where it gets even better!

• My name might not be on Harvard’s genius list,

• I might never be invited to give a TED Talk,

• And I may never get a Woke Wisdom Award…

  
  

But my name is in the Lamb’s Book of Life! And that’s the only role that matters!

"But rejoice that your names are written in heaven." – Luke 10:20

When I stand before God, He won’t be asking for my GPA, my IQ score, or if I got a participation trophy. He will be looking for one thing: Did I know Jesus?

And when I say YES!, He’s going to say: "Well done, good and faithful servant! Enter into the joy of your Lord!" (Matthew 25:21)

And THAT is why this "bummer news" turned out GREAT!

Conclusion: What About You?

• Are you chasing worldly wisdom or building your life on God’s wisdom?

• Is your name on a college dean’s list or the dean's and Heaven’s roll call?

• Are you approved by men, or approved by God?

  
  

Final Invitation: If you’ve been brainwashed by woke wisdom, you can wash your mind with God’s Word (Romans 12:2). If you’ve been worried about fitting in with the world, remember that friendship with the world is enmity with God (James 4:4). And if your name isn’t on Heaven’s roll yet, today’s the day to get it there!

How?

• Admit that you’ve bought into the world’s lies.

• Repent and believe in Jesus Christ.

• Prepare (study hard) to fail the world’s IQ test and ace God’s eternal exam!

  
  

Why? Because, in the end, I’d rather be a fool for Christ than a genius for Satan!

🔥 And there you have it! 🔥I hope this sermon is grace-based, Biblically correct, and seriously funny—without compromising the truth!
