God Won't Give More Than You Can Handle?

Have many times has a well intentioned friend or family member tried to encourage you with the phrase "God won't give you more than you can handle?" When dealing with a tough situation or else fighting a losing battle against some sin and seeking help or comfort, these words are the all to common attempt at giving you what you need. However, while these words sound spiritual, they are quite far from the truth.

In this episode of Anchored by the Word, we introduce the new series, "Lies of Satan." In this (and each each future) episode of the Lies of Satan series, Pastor Justin will address "spiritual sounding" statements like this "God won't give you more than you can handle," explain the danger it poses, and unpack the scriptural truth that that makes this lie so believable.
