9781898824060: Submission and Control

Synopsis

I have written this book to save you a lot of time, at least half of your Christian life, if not more. Time from trying to be led by God's Spirit while also trying to submit and obey those in church leadership around you. For the overwhelming majority of Christians this is an impossible task because it's a contradictory one.The most effective weapon Satan has in his arsenal is control in the name of submission. Countless believers have abandoned what God has asked them to do – all in the name of being submissive to leadership which itself is far from God.Have you ever heard it preached that David was a man after God's own heart? That because he didn't kill Saul after God rejected him as king that this somehow displayed David's heart for God? Moreover that this is how we should behave too? That we should submit to our leaders even when they may be wrong - because God will bless us anyway for being submissive and honourable?A lot of what people say about authority seems right until the scriptures are rightly divided and then the whole thing falls down. Unfortunately, most people don't get that far, because to even dare to question the validity of authority is itself often treated as a form of dissent.The fear of man is a snare, but whoever trustsin the Lord shall be safe. Proverbs 29:25
