Summer-time Series: “The Bible Doesn’t Say That!” (part 6 of 7) Are All Things Possible? Matthew 19:23-26

The Bible is filled with amazing truths to help guide our lives. We also often hear phrases that we think are from the Bible, but in fact are not and they may or may not pass the “truth-test”. Today we look at the phrase “All things are possible for those who believe”. While it is close to what the Bible says, without the context surrounding the phrase, it can lead to a serious misunderstanding. It is important to know where to look when we are confronted by an impossible situation.

Summer-time Series: Forgetfulness vs Forgiveness (part 5 of 6) Ephesians 4:32

The Bible is filled with amazing truths to help guide our lives. We also often hear phrases that we think are from the Bible, but in fact are not and they may or may not pass the “truth-test”. Today we look at the phrase “Forgive and Forget”. While we may be forgetful from time to time, the wounds and hurts from past events seem cemented in our memory. The Biblical remedy is to forgive, not forget, which may be the more challenging (but essential) path.
