I agree with that
All this psychobabble about us holding our own destiny in our hands is total crapola
We hold nothing in our hands
We can do nothing
When we let our hearts melt before the Lord’s goodness, that is when He can shape us into something wonderful!
And it is a deep deep irony that sometimes it takes Satan playing around before we get that point. Contrast works, if lesser methods fail.
As for the Islamists, I pray that they will be blessed to give UP their embrace of Satan.
And of ourselves alone no we can do nothing. Our dear Jesus warned us about that.
But when we embrace God clear to our hearts then we will find we can do a mighty lot.
