About this listen
Ever play the game, "Telephone?" It's where someone whispers something to another person and then they pass it to another person and on and on until everyone has had the phrase whispered to them. Then the last person tells the group what the message was. The results can be hilarious...and more often than not, quite different from the original.
Well, unfortunately in the Church world, some of God's Word has been passed around and misquoted, some intentionally - which is a major sin - and sometimes via ignorance of the Word.
"God helps those who help themselves" is probably second only to "Money is the root of all evil" as misquoted phrases. In fact, the first one isn't even close to scripture but was in Benjamin Franklin's "Poor Richard's Almanac!"
Some misquotes are hilarious while some are quite heartbreaking.
Most of us know how important the Bible is to our spiritual life but too many only occasionally visit it or let someone else tell them what It says.
How do we insulate ourselves from misquoting and misinterpreting the most important message of the universe? Listen and find out.
