Words mean things. That's why we need to be incredibly careful about the words we use—and the words we believe. Our cultural vocabulary is filled with phrases that might sound motivational on the outside, but they miss the mark of what Jesus wants His followers to know about who they are and who He created them to be. He needs to be the filter for everything we say or hear about ourselves and others.

Take these common phrases and compare them to the truth of God's Word:

1) Take it like a man

2) Every cloud has a silver lining

3) Don't put all your eggs in one basket

4) Good things come to those who wait

5) Ignorance is bliss

6) Look before you leap

7) Play devil's advocate

8) There are other fish in the sea

9) There's no such thing as a free lunch

10) You can't have your cake and eat it too
