When Jesus praises a dishonest manager, it brings about an uncomfortable moment that challenges the idea that Jesus brings morality — or at least a morality we understand.  This is a chance to reconsider what true currency is, what a proper relationship to wealth, and who God really favors. <a rel="payment" href="http://www.patreon.com/ErictheLutheran">Support the show</a>

A Virtuous Dishonesty? (Luke 16:1-13)

I'm Rev. Eric Wolf, a pastor, writer, and musician. I've previously posted almost exclusively sermons, but I'm writing a book called Myth of a Dying Church, and am now also posting episodes about the topics in and related to the book. I believe strongly that the task of preaching is to engage Scripture as a mirror held up to our lives so that we can confront what we see with integrity. This image we engage helps us to understand what it means to be Children of God; gain perspective of what it means that our primary citizenship and allegiance belongs to God’s Kingdom; and discover how the love of God transforms what we see when we look at ourselves, the people in our lives, and the world that God so loves.
