Do not give dogs what is holy and do not throw your pearls before pigs,

lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you.

Church, you guys can go ahead, grab a seat.

It's good to be with you.

And as you're fine in Matthew chapter 7, where we'll be.

There was some research that was done a couple years ago.

An article was published in a magazine called Relevant Magazine.

And what they published were the five most misused or abused passages of scripture.

And the first one that they published was Philippians 413, which says, I can do all things through him who gives me strength. Now, the reason it's

misused or abused is because most of the time you see it printed like on a banner and then a

football team runs through it. Paul's actually talking about suffering.

He's about to be put to death and he's writing that passage.

So it's not exactly a like, let's win the football game kind of passage, right?

So it's misused and abused.

The other one they wrote about was Matthew 1820,

for where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am among them.

When Jesus said that, he wasn't meaning like when you go to lunch with a buddy and you pray,

Jesus is with you at your meal. Jesus was actually talking about how you discipline somebody.

And when you have to speak into somebody's life,

where the two of you that believe in Jesus are there,

he's there in the middle of that to reconcile that situation.

So that's a little different.
