sermonette: Money in the Bank
John W. Ritenbaugh
Given 10-Oct-09; Sermon #FT90-11s; 17 minutes
Description: (hide)
John Ritenbaugh, reflecting on the use of stereotypical expressions in everyday language, uses a cliche, "you can take it to the bank" as a statement of fact or certainty. As we go through these uncertain economic times, we will find our faith tested. God hates laziness; God helps those who help themselves in a godly way. If we diligently do our part and trust in His providence, God will provide all our needs. The promises of III John 2 work if our soul prospers accordingly. God keeps His covenant and mercy, showing compassion and grace. Not a single one of us is as bad off as the destitute widow; we can expect that our Father will supply all of our needs. You can take that to the bank.
