Good morning,
How often do you hear someone say, "the problem is..." and then launch into a discussion about whatever they perceive the problem is. In reality, the majority of the time, whatever is stated to be "the problem" is actually a symptom of the problem. It is easy to identify symptoms. It's not always easy to get to the heart of the problem. I'm going to give you the heart of the problem. Are you ready? The heart of the problem is a problem of the heart. People are sinful in our very nature. There is only one remedy for our sin problem, Jesus Christ!
8But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), Ro 5:8.
The truth is that you would never strive for God. You could not get to God, even if you tried. The good news is that He came to you. It was the greatest demonstration of love in history. You and I did not deserve it. Yet, He loves us anyway.
Jesus Christ went to the cross, bore our sins on that cross, paid the price for our sins in His death, and conquered those sins in His resurrection.
3For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), 1 Co 15:3–6.
Jesus Christ's death is an historical fact! His resurrection is an historical fact! His death and resurrection accomplished the work necessary for the forgiveness of sins. There is no other way for a person to have forgiveness other than Jesus Christ.
6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), Jn 14:6.
A follower of Jesus Christ owes Him their everything because He is the only way. Let's follow Him in obedience by taking His gospel to Dyer, Tn.
Dyer, Tn has a dire need.
Serving Him,
Bro. Joey

Absolutely, the problem is man's sinful nature and the cure is JESUS and without him there is no cure.
Amen
