Too Much Knowledge
Are you familiar with the phrase 'Too smart for their own good'? In today's message Pastor Newland touches on the trend of rationalizing our behavior through rationalizations that are based on part of scripture and not scripture in its totality that is taking place in Christian circles and denominations. He shares examples of this approach in how some are responding to the LGBT community, vulgarity in daily language and food choices.
