teach absolute authority such as this and submission will only produce bondage and robots who cannot think for themselves. By the way, all who resist this kind of teaching or question it in the group will be branded as rebellious and stubborn. So I mean if you are in a group like that, this will be your name tag because you will not submit totally your mind and your will. There are people who call for you to submit sight unseen to whatever they are going to tell you to do. Incredible, and the most incredible part is that a lot of people do it. Beware of those who seek control of private lives of the people. Let me repeat that. Beware of those who seek to control all the details of the private lives of the people. The good shepherd leads. He never drives, and He leads primarily by example, and His main force of authority comes from the trust that the people have in Him and in the love that He has for them. If they trust Him and believe that He loves them, then they will go to Him for counsel, believing He would not do anything knowingly to hurt them.

But if it’s a course which you may decide, “this, or this or this,” they will the best they know how discuss each thing with you and tell you, “if I were you, this is what I think is wise.” Then they will tell you, “now you go and pray, and see what God says to you.” Be careful even when you are working in counseling. In counseling so often the emphasis shifts to the counselor. “How wise he is, how wonderful she is. I can get all my answers.” Well what are you going to do when he or she is out of town? Hmm? The wise counselor will shift over and teach you how to find answers from the Lord and from the Word as rapidly as possible.
