Sayings not found in Scripture


I was browsing the Blue Letter Bible some time ago and found an interesting section filed under Miscellaneous. It addresses sayings we commonly hear and may use, but which are not actually found in Scripture. Needless to say, I found this exciting and would like to share it with you. As with everything I ever post or share, I encourage you to prayerfully read and to always measure everything by God's word.

The Sayings discussed are:
  •  Moderation in all things.
  •  Once saved, always saved.
  •  Better to cast your seed....
  •  Spare the rod, spoil the child.
  •  To thine ownself be true.
  •  Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
  •  God helps those who help themselves.
  •  Money is the root of all evil.
  •  Cleanliness is next to godliness.
  •  This too shall pass.
  •  God works in mysterious ways.
  •  The eye is the window to the soul.
  •  The lion shall lay down with the lamb.
  •  Pride comes before the fall.

They also write about:
  •  The Three Wisemen
  •  The Sinner's Prayer
  •  Wedding Vows
  •  The Seven Deadly Sins
