A Pernicious Error

This has had a lot of bad consequences in popular spirituality and theology, and now political commentary. There is nothing we have that was given to us by the Father, and nothing that we can return to Him that was not first given to us by Him, and this is true even of the Son of God.

In our relationship with God, everything is given to us in our act of surrender to the Father. To relinquish is to receive. We come to rule ourselves, the only sovereignty that guarantees happiness, when we give power back to God. #ChristTheKing https://t.co/4b45i8TVHI
