The Danger of Being Overwise: William B. Sprague on Christian Wisdom and Humility

from Dead Presbyterians Society · host Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary

In this episode of the Dead Presbyterians Society Podcast, we explore William B. Sprague’s sermon The Danger of Being Overwise. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 7:16, Sprague warns against the subtle temptation to refine, improve, or go beyond what God has revealed in His Word. True wisdom, he insists, is not found in human innovation or good intentions, but in humble submission to Scripture—believing neither too little nor too much, but exactly what God has spoken.Learn more about the Dead Presbyterians Society at confessional.org
