Henry scowled. “Don’t quote Scripture at me, Melissa. I was raised in the church, same as you. I know what it says.” “I didn’t mean—” “It also says in the book of Luke, ‘Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.’” “I don’t think—” “And God helps those who help themselves.” I bit my tongue so hard it hurt. I was positive that wasn’t in the Bible anywhere. But I knew better than to say so.
I have such an issue with the twisting of Scripture as well as pop culture shading its authenticity. I had to put a bit of my own soap box in here.
