Back

Don't Look Back


by Rev. Derek P. Elphick

Type of Event: Worship Service: Sermon only

Date Recorded: August 18, 2024

Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral

A number of stories in the Word warn us not to “look back” or “turn back” once we’ve made the decision to go forward. This speaks to the fact that there are certain times in our lives when we need to “move on” and put “hand to plough” (Luke 9:62). But what about those times in our lives when we “look back” with nostalgia, with fondness, on what has come before? Is this not appropriate? What’s the difference between these two kinds of “looking back,” and how do they help us move forward?
