Not a bad answer from EM. Apostle Paul said, "we are ambitious to be pleasing to Him." I would think all serious Christians would have this thought in mind.

What is presumptuous, however, is that the Recovery is pleasing to Him, or even worse, that only the Recovery is pleasing to Him. And that is EM's mindset, whether he says it of not.
