Helping Ourselves

United Methodist Pastor Paul Graves in today's Spokesman-Review, on the cliche "God helps those who help themselves":

"Certainly we are called to be actively accountable for doing 'our part.' But that isn't a cliched' condition of God doing God's part to sustain us.

The partnership between God and us is a covenant based on God's grace, not a contract based on fractionalized workload."
