Have always heard this saying, “Let go and let God,” this is a statement that I have used often in my sermons like it is the gospel itself. Reading through a book a friend put in my hand a few days ago, I have come to see the limitation of the statement. As much as the statement has basic foundational truths, it also opens a door to responsibility-less Christianity.

Let me begin with the statement of Paul in Rom. 3:9-12; What shall we conclude then? Are we any better? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin. As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.

What was Jesus model; select a few and pour out your life in them. Jesus never concentrated on building an entourage, with his power and position that would have been easy, for many would come to him for food, healing, comfort, and all the things that would alleviate the suffering of man for nearly all of us are running away from such..

LThis is where humanity has the biggest problem in trying to suppress this knowledge so that we remain with the true image of God. Scripture has lots of attributes of God but in Christ dwells his fullness experientially. I think one of the scariest things is to have an encounter with God, not really because of his truth, love, power, and many other attributes but because of his Holiness. Isaiah gives us a clue of what it is about in Isaiah chapter 6.
