But the sense of control and autonomy offered by the LIFE OVER GOD posture comes with a heavy price. By marginalizing God’s place, or eliminating him altogether, LIFE OVER GOD leaves us in control. God’s part was finished when he gave us the principles—the watchmaker has given us the owner’s manual for life, and now we are responsible for following the instructions. Implementing God’s principles and the outcomes are left on our shoulders. But this also means we have no one to blame when outcomes are not as expected.
