Read Proverbs 1:22  Here in verse 22 Solomon lists 3 different kind of people.  If you recall, Solomon is writing to his son to encourage him to be wise and to follow God's Words.  Can you remember the three different kinds of people that are mentioned in this verse?  Along with Solomon's wise son there are simple, scorners and fools.  If I were to go into your Sunday school class, I might find all four of these kinds of boys and girls.  But have you noticed that wise children and foolish children do not have name tags on them that say wise and fool.  So, how can we tell when a kid is wise, or simple, or a scorner, or a fool?  The Bible says "by their fruits ye shall know them." Matthew 7:20.  That uses the word picture of fruit trees.  You know that a tree is an apple tree because ___.  Well, because it has apples on it.  We know that a tree is a pear tree because it has pears on it.  So, if I go into your Sunday school class and someone is making fun of the teacher I know that they are a scorner.  They mock good things and they like to do wicked things.  They are a scorner.  If the teacher says, "Okay, it's time to get quiet and start class,"  and one of the kids just keep on talking as if nothing happened, well, they are a fool.  They don't notice things.  They just don't get it.  They are a fool.  If another one of the kids laughs at the fool and laughs at the scorner and follows right along with the mischief that the scorner is getting into, then that kid is a simple child.  They don't think for themselves.  They are a follower.  Thy are easily led into trouble and are like the bird that we talked about yesterday.  They don't see that trouble is coming.  They just follow the scorner or the fool right on into trouble.  But let's not forget the fourth person.  This one is not actually mentioned in our verse for today, but is mentioned many times earlier: this one is the wise son or daughter. They listen to their father and their mother and their Sunday school teacher and their pastor.  They notice when others get into trouble and they don't do those things because they are wise.  They learn from the mistakes of others.  They watch and see when others get into trouble and they don't do do those things.  They see when others do well, and they do those kinds of things.  They are smart.  They are wise.  I hope you grow up to be a wise son or daughter.  Now let's review for a minute:  Can you list the four types of children and how you know who they are?
