Listen "Wisdom Part II: Forgotten Wisdom"
Episode Synopsis
"Forgotten Wisdom" – Hosea 4:1-6, Luke 16:19-31
Part II of the Lenten Sermon Series "Wisdom"
Sermon by Dr. George C. Anderson from Sunday, March 16, 2025.
"Jesus uses his stark parable about eternity to make a point about life right now… his now, and our now. He reminds us that in any life-giving, community-enhancing moral tradition, there is a conservative streak. We need to conserve the moral tradition that has brought us this far, the tradition that demands justice and compassion. No matter how fast things change, no matter what popular influencers are telling us should be acceptable, it is dangerous to ignore old wisdom about how to live in a way that is responsible and compassionate.
"Later in the sermon series, you’re going to hear about the progressive streak that has to be in any healthy wisdom tradition. Wisdom adapts as the world changes… and, I guess, as time speeds up. . . . but today, I want to remind us that most of the best wisdom for how to live good and faithful lives has already been figured out, if we will only remember it."
