Wow... that is exactly the opposite embodiment of everything America stands for. We are a nation of self-reliance and personal responsibility, which is precisely why Ben Franklin spoke the words he did.
I am reminded of the quote from the Navy chaplain during the attack on Pearl Harbor: “Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.” Pray to God, but take action to save your own
life, given the present circumstances.
Yep, sure is. Almost every way "of the world" is the opposite of God's way. Not my opinion, either.
Isaiah 55:8-9 (King James Version)
8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
