“Peradventure someone will say, I don’t perceive or feel any weight in myself that I’ve ever done so many sins. To whom we answer, if a dog had a great stone about it’s neck and if it were cast from a high tower—he feels no weight from that stone as long as he is falling down. But when he is once fallen to the ground he is burst to pieces by reason of the weight.”

-- Bishop John Fisher (1469-1535)

Two Conclusions…

1. Salvation is God’s Doing

“I never felt that I had the luxury of re-examining my basic assumptions—once the decision to commit military force was made, all of our energies were turned to vindicating that choice and finding a way somehow to make that basic assumption work”

-Lyndon Baines Johnson
(1908 – 1973)

The Basic Assumption…

“What I do and how I choose to live my life can somehow earn favor with God (if there is a God)”

2. Your Purpose is God’s Doing

The Truth…

If you know Jesus… God has exercised His incredible power in your life
If you do not know Jesus… if you will trust in Him, God will do the same thing for you
