Fear and control. One we wish we had more of, the other we wish we had less. How do we solve this perpetual human struggle? For some, the answer is education. The more we know, the more we understand, the better we can control things and therefore the less we should fear. This is the answer that our modern secular world gives. Is that though of a meaningful answer, is it true or is it even possible? It's not just the world that gives this answer though, it's also the attitude of many in the church. If we simply know more about God, if we know the Bible better, then life will be ours to understand it and control it. The answer to the problem of fear and control, according to the Bible is not education or information, it's trust and obedience. A trust and obedience that is only understood in Jesus.
