John F. Kennedy

"Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings." -- John F. Kennedy

This sounds very noble, but I am afraid he was wrong here. Our problems are man-made, but not made by man alone, and so cannot be solved by man alone. The most intractable of human problems have a spiritual dimension and must be attacked with spiritual power, that is, the power supplied by the Holy Spirit. The basic human problem is the sin problem, which has been addressed by the redemptive life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The power that flows from that is essential for solving the problems of human destiny.
