U Matters - 14 May 2015

by Greg Anderson on May 14, 2015

My mother used to say, when talking about sin: "Ignorance is bliss." In Romans 16, Paul tells us "to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil." Both Paul and my mother are right. If we find wisdom and bliss in goodness, we will live fulfilled and useful lives. If we are ignorant of the good and try to find fulfilment in what is sinful or evil, the results could be very grim. So how can we be wise about the good?

Sunday 24 May, Os Guinness will be speaking at Union Church. Yes, he is related to the brewing family but he is better known as one of the wisest Christian thinkers around. This good and wise man is an example of what Paul is talking about in Romans. May Union be known as a wise and good group of Christ followers.
