The lie of Independence

Our country places a great value on independence, so much so that it pervades the church. Many people actually believe that God helps those who help themselves is scripture,.
But the fact of the matter is that the American way of Independence is antithetical to the Christian Life
The American, me-centered life, (You know the classic American success story thing. The American way, thing, rugged individualism, picking yourself up by your bootstraps, I did d it my way, the self made man, etc. thing)
is NOT Christian, in fact it is antithetical, diametrically opposed, to the way of the Lord.
