The cult will have us constantly fighting for control and vying for the worship we think we deserve. God asks us to surrender control and to redirect the worship we’d like to give to ourselves to him. This is great news. The yoke of the god of self is difficult and its burden heavy, but God’s yoke is easy and his burden light. What a relief to know we don’t have to expend our precious energy serving ourselves. We make terrible, unworthy gods. And because we make unworthy gods, we do one thing really poorly, no matter how hard we try, and that is to come up with our own truth.
