The Bible doesn't say "God helps those who help themselves" - sm

Posted: Sep 22nd, 2020 - 9:09 pm In Reply to: Here We Go Again - With the Wendy Saga

In fact, the statement is in direct contrast to the message of the Gospel.

The saying was no doubt made up by someone who presumes to know God without reading his Word. In addition, the author of the saying seems to believe, much like others who agree with the sentiment, that he is self-sufficient. What a load of crap.
