5. Who is Controlling My Life

The good news of the message of the kingdom of God is that nobody outside you is in control of your life. One of the most destructive beliefs in the world spiritually is that God is in control of everything. Jews incorporated their pagan beliefs in with what God said. The moment you become fearful or unwilling to make decisions about the quality of your life, now you have succumbed to being a victim. The golden thread through all the teachings of Jesus is the thread of personal responsibility. Every one of Jesus’ parables teaches us to make choices that will always guarantee a good outcome.
