Statements of faith are a part of our lives.  "We believe that we will make it!"   "We believe we can turn this marriage around."  "We believe that we can live a sober life."   Statements of faith are necessary for us to move forward and to move on.   But our president just said in his  38-minute address to the United Nations. "No external power can bring about a transformation of hearts and minds."
