Religious life seems to be filled with clichés that are almost true.
Here are a few with my short takes on them.
- Everything Happens for a Reason:
Some things do happen for a reason. - When God closes a door, God opens a window.
Hopefully the window is on the first floor. - God Helps Those Who Help Themselves:
God helps those who cannot help themselves. - Let go and let God.
God usually does not do things he wants us to do. - What Would Jesus Do?
Not the same as what does Jesus want me to do. - You can’t outgive God!
But you can outgive things given to religious groups. - Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together.
Coffee shops are great places to assemble for fellowship. - God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle:
Sometimes we need others to help us handle life. - God Said It, I Believe It, That Settles It:
Simplistic readings of the scriptures are not helpful. - If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
What if God did not bring you to it? - Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin:
Love your neighbor. Hate your own sin. - You're never more safe than when you're in God's will.
Sometimes being in God's will involves torture and persecution.
