In Matthew 17, a father brings his son who is demon possessed to the disciples to be able to deliver the boy. They fail to meet those expectations and sadly, could not cast the demon out. Our culture still brings people who need help to the church today. They bring the helpless, the hapless, the hopeless and lay them at the feet of the church and we are to minister to them in the name of an absentee Lord. Sadly, we will not touch the culture because of our religious agendas, our words, or our debates… The culture asks why can’t you cast it out? ONLY JESUS CAN DO THAT! There must be a sense of dependence upon Him.
