Recently The Leader "quoted" scripture when referring to the economy and building its foundation on rock. That passage is Matthew, Chapter 7, Verse 24 and reads "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock". The same chapter , however, contains an earlier verse, 15 which reads "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves". I wonder why he omitted this verse?
As long as we're talking Bible and it is Sunday, I have another BHO suggestion from this morning's readings: "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ".- Colossians 2:8 Similar to above, don't you think? Coincidental, I think NOT. God must have moved the preacher to choose these verses specifically. He, however, was preaching on our Church's UW Chapel an its outreach. I chosen them to aid in making my point.
