Ping.
Thank you! As usual, you tell me what I NEED to hear when I NEED to hear it.
Funny how God works through you to get to me, ain’t it? ;)
I don’t believe Jesus is commending shrewdness that encourages stealing from our fellow man.
Thank you!
I appreciate your sermons.
This parable has always bothered me. We are perhaps meant to struggle with it a bit.
Maybe Christ is the rich man and we are all managers who are given gifts that we misuse. How do we behave shrewdly? Managers redirecting those goods we received from God towards our neighbors, which was always God’s intent? Every metaphor breaks down at a certain point and I may be over-analyzing. Commended for Shrewdness, not theft!
