What we should be doing is confessing our sins and asking God for His mercies. We have million dollar churches and nobody's on their knees

Are you kidding!? Luther teaches we should trust in God and sin boldly! If people believe they are already "saved" as the Protestants teach, hell will freeze over before you find humility in fallen mankind. They will simply say that it is so because God wants us to be that way and because he preordained that we shall be that way and they will do nothing because that would "thwart" God's omnipotence.

Christians can be obedient like Esther and live a good life or they can be like Jonah and be miserable. Either way the lot is cast in our lap but EVERY decision is of the Lord. (Prov 16:33)

"They will simply say that it is so because God wants us to be that way and because he preordained that we shall be that way and they will do nothing because that would "thwart" God's omnipotence."
