The current paradigm is that God is like our employee. He longs to do good things for us. Our participation frees Him to contribute to our well-being. Until we enter into the equation, He is shackled by us.

If you are late on your light bill, believing that God will take care of it will free Him to do just that.

I used to think this was cult thinking until I started visiting churches. People seem to like this paradigm. It makes them feel empowered.

That is not what the Bible teaches.

I don’t give a flip what paradigm is being pushed at the Church of the Mega Mall
