if God is in control then......

If God does not draw you to himself then you then you are left to your own devices. I am always conscious of this strange fact I've observed in other people. They take rather firm and firey positions based on definitely flimsy facts. If they are based on the Bible it usually turns out many were not aware their foundation did not include most of the information they already should have known. When I mention that God has to draw you first or you cannot not follow Jesus they often get highly irate. Many fell away in the Bible when they heard Jesus express this view and these folks apparently would themselves had they been there. Where is that in the Bible? Well it is there alright and if they did not know that then they can find it themselves. (I can get as uppity and anyone else they quickly discover if they hang anywhere around here very long ;-)
