"Calling on the Lord solves and dissolves all your problems," Lee says.
Hm. Really? Calling on the Lord solves a neglectful spouse? A rebellious child? A broken water pipe? This is the "just do xyz effortless thing and everything will be solved" stuff.
I don't see "calling on the Lord solves all our problems" in Acts 15 when there were problems needing to be solved. I see discussion!
I don't see Paul exhorting the Corinthians or Galatians to just call on the Lord to solve their problems; he smacks them upside the head and reminds them of the gospel and admonishes their behavior!
I've seen firsthand what calling on the Lord in the face of a needy teenager does - it drives them even further away.
Lee gives the example of a wife who is disgusted with her husband and stays disgusted for three days and of course makes it seem like it's her fault. Maybe the husband did something disgusting and won't repent? An offended spouse is not always irrationally or wrongly offended, sheesh Lee........
