Possessed and driven

“Only evil spirits, not good ones, possess a person and drive him.”

    When I first glanced at the subject of this post ("Possessed and Driven") I thought it said "Purpose Driven." "Has Ben been reading Rick Warren?" I thought in that nanosecond.

    Fortunately, it was Schleiermacher not Warren.

    "Has Ben been reading Rick Warren?" Not if it was the last book on earth....
