That's not in the Bible

As Christians, especially Christians in America, there are many lies we buy into in the name of biblical 'truth'.

In response to that Jean F. Larroux III recently wrapped up a remarkable sermon series aptly titled, “That’s not in the Bible”.

I’ve listened to most of these (insofar as I was able to successfully download it to iTunes) and each one was excellent, but I think my two favorites are the last two in the series, "Left Behind" and “God’s will is the safest place to be!". He debunks widely held myths within American Christendom that are errantly attributed to the Bible … I highly recommend it. Links here:

Titles and Description of the sermons in the series:

08 of 08 "Left Behind"

Is this really the thing that Christians should fear? Will the church be 'Left Behind'? Should Christians fear this reality? Come be challenged by the truth that we should be praying TO BE Left behind- that's right, we WANT to be Left behind....listen and find out why the concept of 'Left Behind' as a 'bad' thing IS NOT in the Bible.

07 of 08 "God's will is the safest place to be!"

Many would claim that the 'safest' place to live is 'in the will of God.' Is that really safe? Is God's will really a 'safe' place? God is good, but is He really safe?

06 of 08 "Money is the root of all evil"

Is MONEY really the root of all evil? This is a common misconception and actually NOT in the Bible....listen and see what is actually IN the Bible

05 of 08 "I don't have Peace about that"

04 of 08 "W.W.J.D."

WWJD- this is on bumperstickers, bracelets, t-shirts and signs in churches all over the United States . In this message we're asking one question- Would God want us to ask "W.W.J.D.?" We don't think so- why? download and listen....

03 of 08 "Christians should not judge"

02 of 08 "God helps them who help themselves"

01 of 08 "God NEVER gives you more than you can handle"

People often say when a situation is difficult- "God NEVER gives you more than you can handle!" What we are doing is poorly quoting the passage about temptation never facing us which we cannot overcome (essentially eliminating all 'excuses' for sin) and attibuting to ourselves the ability to 'handle' anything. As the series title indicates- "That's NOT in the Bible!"
