Hurtful Things Christians Say: The Lord will Provide
Many Christians have uttered the phrase, “The Lord will provide,” and while it comes directly from Scripture, taken out of context it can make those who are impoverished and struggling feel like their situation reflects a lack of love and compassion by God. This Sunday we explore the original meaning of the text, and what the Bible expects from us in addition to the promise of God’s help for those in need. Providence is not a one sided relationship with our God, but God with and for us, even as we strive to be with and serve our God. Associated Scripture: Genesis 22:1-14
