I wonder if our culture’s trend is to think fate is in control of our lives and that pleasure should be the driving force of our decisions. We should make ourselves happy as much as we can, recognizing that genetics, the environment and culture are forces that control us. But where does that leave the belief that we have a Creator who provides grace and mercy, listens to our prayers, and is working to bring all things into His plan.
“I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse.” - Josh McDowell, More Than a Carpenter
