Toolbox For Faith

It’s not uncommon for people to attribute a saying like “A penny saved is a penny earned” to the Bible. It sounds like good, solid, faithful, Biblical advice to many people. Since the Bible is a big book with lots of sayings, wisdom and advice and since most people haven’t memorized the Bible, it’s just easier to accept someone saying “Well, as the Bible says, a penny saved is a penny earned ” than it is to try and convince the speaker that those words were spoken by Ben Franklin, not Jesus, Moses or King David. A survey I read about this week, however, reminded me that sometimes the mis-identification of quotes goes the other way too.
