This is a sermon that explores one of the most interesting pearls of wisdom in the Proverbs: It is Wise to Accept Reproach. It discusses the circumstances that make it easier to accept reproach from others and how we should not use this "advice" as a weapon of reproaching others to conform to our beliefs. Jesus says "Do not judge," yet we are commanded in the scriptures to reproach others who are going into sin. We explore how we can use the Golden Rule as a guide so we can maneuver between such similar looking, yet opposite commands. We also explore the consequences of reproaching those who just don't value heavenly treasures like this pearl of wisdom.
