Comments by the late Jack Miller based on Galatians 4.4–7 concerning our adoption in Christ
When praying, honest confession is where spiritual power begins.
In the Christian church there are too many ‘good’ people who do not go to God. Why should you go to God if you think you just need a little tweaking, a little propping up? People like this pray with self-effort, with insecurity, with guilt, and with little sense of forgiveness. But these are not the prayers of a child of God.
