Which of these
popular sayings
come from the Bible?
- When God closes one door, he opens another
- God moves in mysterious ways
- Money is the root of all evil
- God won't put more on you than you can bear
If you answered "none," you're right! Many Christians with a shaky foundation of biblical knowledge confuse something that "sounds like it came from the Bible" with actual biblical truth. Discover the truth for yourself in this fascinating, easy-to-read study that reveals the truth and error behind some of the most popular sayings of the day.
