Are the keys of the Kingdom rusty?
Ever since that disastrous day in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve decided that their knowledge was better than God’s, we human beings have suffered from an innate disinclination to want to be told what to do. We Christ-believers know that we can’t take one breath without God, yet that secular spirit of autonomy infects us too: because even Christ’s elect experience the effects of a fallen world, and because our society is saturated with that spirit and we live in that society.
