In a society which
puts a premium on industry and independence, many Christians subscribe to the
idea that God helps those who help themselves. Where is that verse in the Bible
anyway? Sounds like something that might be in the Old Testament. Perhaps it’s
in Proverbs. Or did one of the prophets say it?
Did God Really Say
God Helps Those Who Help Themselves?
Not to burst any
bubbles, but…no. He did not. Not in the Old Testament. Not in the New
Testament. One pastor suggests maybe it is found in 1 Americanus 17:76.
But in fact,
Scripture teaches us just the opposite. God helps those who cannot help
themselves, and who recognize that fact. We’ll be exploring all this on Sunday,
August 5th. We have just one service, at 10:00. Come join us, if you
can.
