(Links) Popular Evangelism’s Misuse of Scripture
I’ve enjoyed reading through TwoAgesPilgrims’ series on the way popular evangelism (or mainstream evangelicalism) tends to misuse certain passages of Scripture. Although on the third one, Jeremiah 29:11, I might be inclined to take a slightly looser interpretation (in that yes, the original context must be paramount, but the verse is also a powerful statement of encouragement to believers if not used to mean that in this life there will certainly be material blessing).
Anyway, here you go!
Joshua 24:15 (Choose this day whom you will serve…)
John 3:16 (For God so loved the world…)
Jeremiah 29:11 (For I know the plans I have for you…)
Revelation 3:20 (I stand at the door and knock…)
