%CONTROL CRITERIA TERMS CONDITIONS SALVATION HEAVEN 960502

     People  who  are preoccupied with issues  of  control
often seek to be ultimately in control---of the  criteria,
the terms and the conditions for salvation; i.e. for entry
into heaven.

     There  are  exclusive  people  who presume  to  be in
control  of  what they regard as the ultimately  exclusive
club;  heaven itself.   They presume to define who can get
into  heaven and who cannot get into heaven.     They  may
claim that someone else has set the terms, and  that  they
are  merely  announcing  the terms  which  they  know  for
certain;  but it is not always so clear that they have not
played any role is setting up the terms.

     What  does  the  Lord require of us but  that  we  do
justice, love mercy and walk HUMBLY with our Lord?  People
who  are  preoccupied  with issues of  control  find  this
requirement  difficult  to fulfill.    They seem to  think
that  they  are  the Lord and that people should  live  on
terms set by those preoccupied with issues of control.
