Control

Pastor Matthew Best
1 min readJun 10, 2021

I could write a whole book on the topic of control. But it’s really unnecessary. Here’s what you need to know:

We think we are in control. But we aren’t.

We desire to be in control. Which only proves that we aren’t in control.

We turn being in control into an idol and false god that we sacrifice everything for. Which again shows that we aren’t in control.

Our conception of what it means to be in control is isn’t really about control. It’s about being controlling. There’s a difference.
