Let go and let God. You will sin again.

When I was Saved in ‘92, I became very judgmental of non-believers. It took me awhile to get over how special I thought I was.

Good. Just now don’t blame God for whatever hardship you may go through. Read about the Apostle Paul and what he went through.

>> “I am a new Christian. What is the next step?” <<

Read Jeremiah 16:19

O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

The next step after that is dump the lies and go looking for the truth!

“Let go and let God” is a catchphrase associated with the old Keswick or “Deeper Life” movement. I’d run away from that and fast. It falsely divides believers into two categories, those who are merely saved and those who’ve received the “second blessing.” The Scriptures know of no such division.

Instead of fooling with Deeper Life thinking I’d get books on personal holiness from two dead men. I’d read John Owens’ The Mortification of Sin. And then from my old acquaintance, Bro. Jerry Bridges, there’s The Pursuit of Holiness and others.

Seventh: Go on FreeRepublic and obsessively attack Catholics. Cut-and-paste handy-dandy Scripture passages. NEVER read a Catholic’s discussion or explication of those Scripture passages. Learn a little bit of Catholic jargon, so as to be able to misuse it and distort its meaning. Never respond to a question, except with thousands of words cut-and-pasted from anti-Catholic websites. Accuse Catholics of worshiping Mary. Never, never answer a Yes-or-No question, except with “I’m not going down your rabbit hole.”
