TITLE:
Everybody Says It – Nobody Believes It
TEXT:
Matthew 7:21-23
PROPOSITION:
Repeated often enough, it becomes truth.
INTRODUCTION:
- Some things we hear so
often, we start to accept them as truth.
- Some repeat these
statements without thinking them through.
- Here are some often made
statements – but, when you think about it – NOBODY believes them.
One church is as good as
another.
- Why don’t you become a
Mormon? Jehovah’s Witness, or Buddhist?
- Why don’t you quit where
you are come with me?
- We believe our church is
better – or we would seek someplace else.
You go your way. I’ll go
mine. We will all go to heaven.
- Why don’t you believe in
maps?
- Do you believe the
atheist is going to heaven?
- Do you believe the
Muslim and Hindu are going to heaven?
What I do at home is
nobody’s business.
- You mean it is OK for
incest, pedophilia and kiddy porn?
- Is is OK to physically
abuse your wife or kids in your home?
- Stories in the news –
parents put children in closet, starve them, beat them
You can’t legislate
morals.
- You can’t make laws
about murder, rape, or incest?
- You can’t make laws
about stealing, perjury, or drugs?
- Morals is ALL YOU CAN
legislate!
- Every law @ every level
= moral values
- REAL ISSUE: Whose
morality will be legislated?
A loving God would never
send anyone to hell.
- Would a loving God
reward wicked and evil men?
- Would He be a loving God
if He allowed Hitler and Stalin in with Paul and Peter.
