You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatreds.You cannot establish security on borrowed money.You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence.You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

One of the real challenges in "rightly handling" the Bible is to reconcile verses which could seem to contradict each other.  When you consider how large the Bible is and how many different people contributed to its content, it is truly amazing that there are so few passages which are difficult to reconcile with each other.  Most of those passages are from different books and can be reconciled by looking at the context and intent of the different authors.
However, one instance of apparent contradiction that has always puzzled me is found in Galatians chapter six, verses two and five.  In verse two, Paul writes, "Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ."  Just a few verses later Paul writes, "For each will bear his own load."  Paul seems to simultaneously be saying, "Lend each other a helping hand" and "Do it yourself."  As a Roman emperor once said, "This vexes me.  I'm terribly vexed."
As usual, an examination of the context helps resolve the apparent contradiction.  Galatians 6:1-5 reads:  Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.  Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.  For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.  But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.  For each one will bear his own load.
Even though verses two and five are close together, it is clear that Paul is talking about two different things.  Early in this passage, Paul is discussing the duty upon Christians to be a source of encouragement and instruction to each other.  We must be willing and able to help each other during our struggles whether we are struggling with matters of this life or our walk with God.  However, he reminds us to do so in a spirit of humility, fully aware of our own weaknesses and that we, too, can stray if we are not diligent.
He then reiterates the need for personal vigilance by saying that we can take no sense of accomplishment from the actions of others.  For instance, we can't think, "Well, the preacher visited Bob in the hospital so I don't need to go," or "The church has Bible classes so I don't need to share the word with anyone."  We need each other and need to be there for each other.  However, we each have our own cross to bear and God demands that we bear it.
