Summary

If you want to deceive someone to believe a falsehood, dress up the falsehood to look beautiful or at least more attractive. This deception occurs every day in our culture, and sometimes the church when people use language as a beautiful cover for sin. In this show, Frank looks at how people do this by using attractive words— such as Love, tolerance, justice, equality, progressive, and the like— to make you feel better about doing something wrong. Listening might help you discern truth from deception and avoid sin and pain. If you want to send us a question for the show, please email us at Hello@CrossExamined.org.
