Aristotle's Antidote to Sin and Vice

About this sermon

Support the channel by visiting https://brianholdsworth.ca One of my favourite movies growing up was Rocky but I do remember being somewhat confounded by attempts by the writers to get psychological with the story, or worse, philosophical. As a kid, I remember being confused about why adults thought this was an important question. It was this whole deliberation about whether or not people can change. Aristotle taught that time is merely the measurement of change which isn’t a common way of thinking about it, but if you DO think about it, I think he’s totally right. Like imagine if everything suddenly came to a freezing halt. All the activity and movement, all the bustling of life, and the motion of the cosmos, just suddenly stopped, except for you. What would you think? You’d think time was standing still for some reason because nothing is changing. To be in time is to experience change. You and I, because we can’t escape time will inevitably experience change. The question is, is it going to be the kind of change we will want and be content with or a change that happens by accidental change with unpleasant results?
