The Buddhist approached a hotdog vendor and said, "Make me one with everything." The
Buddhist gave the vendor a $20 bill and waited. Finally he said, "Where's my change?"
The vendor replied, "All change must come from within."
That is the Buddhist philosophy -- that change comes from within, and at first glance, we might agree with that. But, as Christians, we have discovered that an individualistic attitude toward our ability to change is full of inadequacies.
We are not an independent people. We are dependent. It is a lie when we are told we can do anything we put our mind to. It sounds nice, but it leaves out someone. Do you know who it is? It is God.
