“You Are Wrong!”

“You Are Wrong!”

Blessings folk!

Read these verses again…

Mar 12:24
Jesus said to them,
“Is this not the reason you are wrong,
because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God?

Mat 22:29
But Jesus answered them,
“You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.


Jesus told a portion of the religious leadership that they were wrong.

They were wrong!
How?
Why?
Because they did not know the Scripture.
They did not know the Power of God.

Nothing has changed.
If anything, this lack of knowledge and experience in the Scripture and the Power of God has increased.

Supposed “leaders” put on a faux-front.

A bit of a scandal has embroiled the Southern Baptist Convention the past few days.
Seems that the new president tends to “borrow”, “plagiarize”, etc. some of “his” sermons.

Here is an example…one of many, many…and growing daily… (Litton is the new president of the SBC. Greear past president. Litton really likes Greear’s stuff… He also likes to obfuscate, etc. He actually admits that he use to “lie” about the amount of “time he put in sermon preparation”…these type of folk are big on that.)

People!
This is nothing new.
Things have been “borrowed” from the beginning.

There are several points of problem.
- personal pride of the speaker
- lack of knowledge of the Scripture
- lack of the Power of God

Most of the time the speaker/preacher is more than willing to receive all the accolades and adoration for the “word” that was brought…when it was not “his”.

(I have often seen this. I have personally experienced it. It unfolded this way. The speaking style was different every Sunday. The vocabulary was different from week-to-week and different from regular day-to-day speech patterns. The thoughts and reasoning were far beyond the usual daily encounters. I began to do a simple internet search after a few words of a “sermon”. And, there ya go! The sermon would pop up…word for word. Done by someone else. I found copied versions of copied versions of copied versions.)

There is nothing wrong with seeking help.

Pro 11:14
Where there is no guidance the people fall,
But in abundance of counselors there is victory.

I have seen speakers call a friend and a say “do you have a sermon on…?”
Nothing wrong with this, if there is proper attribution.

One can go to the local christian book store and find a year’s sermons on the shelf.
Fine.
As long as there is proper attribution.

But, there is a greater problem.

Vanity is one thing.

Not knowing the Scripture…
Not knowing the Power of God…
That is another thing.
