Mis-truths They Told Me at Church
Rather harsh title, isn't it?
But there are many, and I'd like comments and additions here.
"If you are a really good Christians, your family members will all convert."
I found out that Beth Moore's brother is a Buddhist. Hummmmmm. Beth is an exemplary person, so this one doesn't hold much water for her or a lot of people.
"Sometimes God will use the death of someone to bring their family members to the Lord."
I hate this one. I heard it at the end of an otherwise good sermon on prodigals. Only one person had to die for our salvation, and he did already. This mis-truth hits at the heart of the sufficiency of Christ.
