The popular teaching that humans have a free will and are "free moral agents" undermines and diminishes the only One Who truly does have a free will—God.
He is the Potter, and we are His clay. Clay does nothing apart from the Potter. Nothing. And anything the clay "does" is, in reality, being done by the Potter.
But, by the wisdom and power of God, even though we are not truly free, we FEEL free (at least as free as we can feel with all of the visible and invisible forces God uses to move us and restrict us).
The fact that He is actually in control of all things should give us comfort. Who else would you want to be running this show? Bruce Almighty?
