Three of the Most Powerful Words in the English Language

By John Evans

Benchley, June 11, 2009

These words are “I was wrong.”
Some examples which show the power of these words.
- David:? II Samuel 12:1-7,13; Psalms 51:1-4
- Prodigal son:? Luke 15:11-21
- Jews on Pentecost:? Acts 2:36-37
- Aaron:? Numbers 12:11
- Parable of the first son, by his actions:? Matthew 21:28-31
Sometimes it is hard for us to admit when we’re wrong.
It’s hard for me to admit that I’m wrong…
- … to myself.? James 1:22
- … when my enemy tells me.? I Kings 18:17-18
- … when my relatives tell me.? II Samuel 24:1-4
- … when the devil’s ensnared me.? Luke 22:3-6
- … when the majority urges me to do what’s wrong.? I Samuel 8:4-7,19-20
Here are some signs that I am wrong.
- When those who love me the most tell me I am wrong.? Proverbs 1:8-15
- When someone who’s in a better position to know says I am wrong.? II Chronicles 26:16-21
- When the circumstances of life show me I am wrong.
- When the Bible tells me I am wrong.? Colossians 3:9
How about me?? Am I wrong about something today?
