Question ~ Bible Truths Or Common Sayings?
Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.
In a world where misinformation and misconceptions run rampant, it is important to distinguish between what we believe are Bible truths and what aligns with the teachings of the Holy Scriptures. Often, we encounter sayings mistakenly attributed to the Bible, perpetuated through repetition and societal influence. But here’s the beauty of knowledge – by delving deeper into the pages of God’s word, we can uncover these falsehoods and unravel their deceptive nature. In this pursuit, we become aware of how cunningly our adversaries manipulate those unaware of the real truth.
Truth vs Error…
However, as our understanding grows, so does our ability to discern genuine wisdom from mere fallacies. The richness of biblical teachings extends beyond moral guidance; it encompasses every aspect of human life – love, forgiveness, perseverance, or compassion. Thus, if something holds value and authenticity in its message, you will likely find its roots embedded within the profound verses penned throughout history. By keeping an open ear and a receptive heart toward biblical truths, you may realize that even our nation was built upon these principles. Within its sacred texts lies unparalleled wisdom capable of teaching us valuable lessons while offering guidance for righteous living—illuminating paths for correction and growth along life’s journey. Bible truths are valuable for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. ~ Bill Greguska

God’s Words vs. Man’s Words
Years ago, I wondered what the Bible said about the day’s topics. I also wondered where my mom and dad got those one-liners such as, “Doing unto others as I would want them to do to me?” Or, “That we ought to love one another?” It made me think about other sayings and whether they were actually from the Bible the Bible or not.
I learned over time that many expressions may sound like they are from the Bible, but they are not! Below, you will see what I am referring to. I hope this will encourage you to read your Bible to learn what it says and does not. I hope and pray that you grow closer to God through Bible truths. Remember that the Bible is full of wisdom and Godly counsel that we need to live Christ-like lives. ~ Bill Greguska
