Proverbs 29 says when a fool and a wise person have a dispute; the fool will rant and give full vent to their anger. Now this happens in countless situations, but I see it a lot between ex-spouses who are assigned the responsibility to co-parent their children. This means godly parents are at times subjected to outrageous behavior and if that's you, I'm sorry. Just remember this, everyone, especially children, knows exactly who the fool is and who is not. So let integrity be your guide.

Ron: Here’s a tale of two co-parents: the fool and the wise.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: I love it when Scripture just tells it like it is. Proverbs 29 says when a fool and a wise person have a dispute; the fool will rant and rage and give full vent to their anger. Now this happens in countless situations, but I see it a lot between ex-spouses who are assigned the responsibility to co-parent their children. This means godly parents are at times subjected to outrageous behavior and if that’s you, I’m sorry.

Just remember this, everyone, especially children, knows exactly who the fool is and who is not. So, let integrity be your guide. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
