One Wrong Theological Idea Can Turn People Away From Truth

Have you ever heard the statement, "God doesn't call the qualified; he qualifies the called?" I have -- many times and for many years.

I think it's dangerous.

One inaccurate interpretation of Scripture can keep people from believing in Jesus. Yet we're still held responsible for whether we recognize Truth or not!

Today we continue with our study of John 7, specifically looking at four key topics:

  1. The connection between calling and qualifications.
  2. Our responsibility to discern truth.
  3. The divisive nature of truth.
  4. Good intentions don't make up for bad theology.

Dive in as we unpack more verses from John's insight-rich gospel.
