Six Cliches that Wreck the Gospel

In Episode 69, we talked about how to tie the knot or how to lead a friend to Christ. Today, we’re going the other way as we talk about how not to mislead someone to Christ.

We're going to touch on the six cliches that wreck the gospel. There are a lot of cliches that have crept into Christian vocabulary, most of which distort the truth. In fact, there are particular ones that twist the way of salvation and the gospel.

We've all used them. We've all heard them. They muddy the waters of the gospel of grace.

It is necessary for us to have a conversation about these 6 destructive cliches so we can, once and for all, put an end to using them in spreading the word of God.

Let’s go bigger, better, and deeper !
