Helpless is a state that we really do not want to be in.  The world tells us that we need to be in control, the "top dog", rulers of our destiny.  In reality, we were dead in sin, unable to do anything, until God rescued us through his son Jesus.  "You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly." -Romans 5:6. -Pastor Mike
