What arewethereyet found strange was how little faith these holy people had in God and that he would protect them by having such extensive security. It's like going on a lake to walk on water but also bringing with you scuba gear just in case there is no God.
God helps those who help themselves.
But then, there are those aggressive preachers on TV who insist god needs money. I even read of one who told his flock he needs a private jet.
Mum had a dear friend, a Christian Scientist, who deeply believed God will provide; She did not believe in doctors. The dear friend developed cancer and died.
