This sermon from Ecclesiastes 7 explores the contrast between reputation and the true good—wisdom and the knowledge of God. It warns against living for public praise, being overly righteous or showy in wisdom, and instead calls believers to pursue holiness with humility, wisdom, and discernment. The preacher urges careful rebuke, charity in judgment, and peace-making rooted in the grace of Christ. True spiritual maturity lies not in harsh censoring or cowardly silence, but in wisely applying truth for God’s glory, always beginning with self-examination and the pursuit of godly wisdom. 📅 Date: 16th of March in the Year of our Lord 2025
