FMWT-116 Old Wineskins

 

 

There is a saying I have been using in business for over 40 years, “You can only coast in one direction.”  So often, as I talked with new clients they would say, “if only we could keep the status quo, things would be great.”  The problem with the keeping everything the same is that things are always changing.  In this podcast, Tony discusses Old Wineskins.

Scripture: “Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined. Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins. [And] no one who has been drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’” –Luke 5:37-39

Reflections:  Are you guilty of clinging to the old and familiar?  How can we reflect on younger Catholics and find ways to communicate with them in a way that makes our faith attractive?  Are you guilty of the saying, “if we could only keep things the way they were?
