I DON\u2019T like it when my wife asks me to go to Home Depot. I\u2019m not a Home Depot kind of guy. Now, there are two reasons I don\u2019t like Home Depot. Number one, it\u2019s big and the aisles are packed with stuff. I also don\u2019t like fighting to get through those lines, if I happen to go during the wrong part of the day. The main reason I don\u2019t like Home Depot is because when my wife asks me to go there to purchase something, it usually means I have to fix something around the house myself.<\/p>\n
See, Home Depot is set up for folk who want to take care of things themselves. So instead of calling a plumber, you go get the plumbing. Instead of calling an electrician, you go get the plugs and the socket so you can screw it in yourself. I don\u2019t like Home Depot because that means there is work for me to do. Home Depot has made a business of teaching people how to fix it themselves.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve got a lot of Home Depot kind of saints today. They are used to being their own boss, captain of their own faith, and master of their own ship. They are so used to doing it themselves that, even though they will breathe a prayer every now and then, they remain fairly self-sufficient people.<\/p>\n
These self-sufficient people are Burger King kind of people. They want to have it their way. They are sufficient within themselves and so they live their own lives.<\/p>\n
This is what Satan wants. He wants us to operate independently of God.821<\/p>\n
