The Wisdom to Know the Difference: Distinguishing between What We Can and Can’t Control

Services are held at 9:15 & 11:00 a.m. each Sunday.  In this sermon we’ll more closely examine the “dichotomy of control,” a fundamental principle of Stoic philosophy. The first line of Reinhold Niebuhr’s Serenity Prayer is familiar to most; “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.” Often it is knowing the difference that is the most important and most difficult of all.
