609. Gospel of Luke, Chapter 11 (#8 - Part 2) - The Pharisees Focused on the Wrong Things - August 1, 2024

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 1. I will then key in on verse 15 - My son, do not walk in the way with them, Keep your foot from their path. Friends, we are to do all we can to avoid hanging out with (or being) evil people. There is nothing at all that they do that we should find appealing. On today's podcast I will pick up where we left off on yesterday's podcast (if you did not listen to that podcast, I invite you to do so prior to listening to today's lesson). By the end of today's lesson there are three things I ask that you consider: 1. The Pharisees focused on the wrong things. 2. Jesus accuses the lawyers of losing men with burdens hard to bear. 3. Jesus accuses the lawyers of taking away the key of knowledge. Call to Action - I would like you to wander what it would have been like living on Earth when Jesus lived here. Would you have followed His teachings, or would you have been steeped in the tradition of generations of Jewish people and followed the law to the letter? Very important question!
