And here we are at the end of another sermon series, Truths That Kill. We have looked at 3, today will make 4, statements used repeatedly by Christians, by the Church, and by the world that are true statements. But statements that have gained a life of their own apart from the context in which they are true and in that they have become destructive. Today we come to all sin is the same. We will look at the truth, the context, and the problem.

We continue our series on Truths That Kill, and it is not the truths that kill, but the misapplication, misunderstanding, loss of context of truths that can be so destructive to faith and the Church. Today we look at a statement at the very heart of knowing God, of being saved: 'Just say this prayer'. As before we’ll look at the truth, the context, and the problem.

Truths That Kill is the more grabbing title, but as I explained last week it is the application of truths outside their context that can be destructive to our Christian life and the Church. We are looking at four ideas that are true but have some bad application. Last week we looked at 'You don’t have to go to church to be saved'. True, but you do need to go to church to be in a thriving relationship with the One who saved you. Today we are looking at 'Jesus just wants us to love'. Like last week, we’ll look at the truth, the context, and the problem.

Truths That Kill. My own title of this series scares me. I would refer to a lot of what we will talk about as elementary ideas, simple truths that have gone horribly wrong. Now to be clear, I am not talking about biblical truth. Biblical truth, God’s truth is life and life eternal! In all things we need God’s truth. At different times the Church has addressed certain conditions, ways of thinking among people in the world or people in the church and we come up with these sayings that are true, in that context. But out of that context, these statements have gained a life of their own and have become destructive to the Christian life and Church.
