Honestly, we can throw away twelve-step curriculums and self-esteem courses, for the benefits they proffer are temporary at best and frequently do more harm than good—and that is coming from an AA alumnus. I back that statement in the light of Paul’s assertion in Romans 7:18.
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. Romans 7:18
Whatever man puts his carnal hand to is corrupt; there is nothing good in man. This is the reason why the Apostle Paul asks who will save him and not what can save him or how can he be saved. Paul tried the whats and the hows and it left him a miserable wretch. Paul discovered the only cure was in Christ Jesus and that’s my testimony too.
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:5
