KP Said It So Well
One of the articles I have on my list to write is about the common abuse of 1 Corinthians 10:13. But my friend Keith has already said it so well on his blog, "God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle."
He says, "How frequently we hear these words offered in pressing times, usually preceded by the words, 'Like the Bible says. . .' It's interesting that what many people mean by their paraphrase is something along the order of 'God will keep you from being overwhelmed.' But is that what is actually promised? I don't think so. The verse that people have in mind when they say this actually has to do with temptation. . . ."
Read the whole article.
And when you read your Bible, read with open eyes.
