Sunday night we discussed “Commonly Misused Passages.” These are Scriptures that well-meaning brethren have used out of context. The conclusions backed up by these passages may be true, but the end doesn’t justify the means. As Christians, we must handle the word of truth “rightly” (2 Tim. 2:15).
Here’s a list of the ten Scriptures we discussed:
“The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away” (Ps. 90:10).
“Holy and reverend is thy name” (Ps. 111:9, KJV).
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it” (Ps. 118:24).
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!” (Is. 14:12).
“Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Prov. 29:18, KJV).
“Prepare to meet your God” (Amos 4:12).
“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them” (Mt. 18:20).
“For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself” (Rom. 14:7).
“Abstain from all appearance of evil” (1 Thes. 5:22, KJV).
“So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin” (Jas. 4:17).
Sunday night I misspoke, saying you could add your own thoughts in a comment with this post. At the time I didn’t realize that comments have been permanently disabled on our website. Sorry for the confusion!
