Profitable for Growth

Filed under: Uncategorized — Dennis Weiland @ 7:51 pm

Which of the following quotes are in the Bible?

1. Cleanliness is next to godliness.

2. God helps those who help themselves.

3. Confession is good for the soul.

4. Man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

5. Money is the root of all evil.

6. Honesty is the best policy.

Believe it or not, only one of the those quotes is found in the Bible.  The fourth one is from Job 5:7.

We don’t need to feel guilty if we don’t read the Bible every day or as much as our pastors.  But consider with me reading it through at least for the rest of this year-not so that we can answer some trick questions about it, but because it was given to us by God and is profitable for our spiritual growth (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

Read the Bible to be wise, believe it to be safe, practice it to be holy.
