Control

So much of what we do is to satisfy our need for control. Tom Ehrich said:
I yearn for the day when we Christians stop fighting about control issues, and start doing what Jesus called us to do. We are so concerned about controlling how people behave, that we forget to love them as they are. We are so concerned about doctrinal cleansing, ethical cleansing and political cleansing that we fail to see the logs in our own eyes, and even more, we fail to give what God gives, namely, mercy. We are so concerned about whom to keep out that we fail to let hope and forgiveness in.
