Walking in Humility

In this lecture, “Walking in Humility”, Rev. Parker Williamson approaches the subject in what he describes as a sideways manner, i.e., looking at idols, and the idols in our life. Idols are accessible, fashionable, attractive. Idols are that which control our lives. We take that which is finite and turn it into the infinite. In fact, Williamson suggests that we are our own idols. In the Gospel we discover the humility of God.  The humility of Jesus is that which brings us to our knees. The encounter of true humility!
