Yes, “believe in yourself” isn’t biblical.
Yep. The power of positive thinking, even in a non-biblical sense, is real, but it can’t compare to the power that comes from deep faith in God—a faith rooted in a deep understanding of Scripture.
I have always believed in the power of positive thinking, but I can happily acknowledge that faith-based positivity can lead to true miracles. I have witnessed many such miracles.
Much better to have a President raised in a church with Positive Thinking preaching than one who attended the “haste Whitey, God Damn America” preaching.
Jesus was not a self-help guru.
