Reflection of the Day
"But, in fact, if any person can be removed from the possibility of sin, he or she can only be some kind of a robot run by pulleys, wheels and push-buttons. A person morally incapable of doing evil would be, by the same token, morally incapable of doing good. A free human will is necessary to the concept of morality. I repeat: If our wills are not free to do evil, neither are they free to do good."

If we are not free to do evil, neither are we free to do good. Isn't this so liberating for us all who struggle to love God, obey Him, and live a life that glorifies Jesus, and yet always find ourselves struggling with the sinful nature and often do that which we do not wish to do, and not doing that which we wish to do? Praise the Lord.
