2. Stop playing God. The simple truth is that we're either going to serve God or ourselves. We can't do both. In the words of Matthew 6:24, no one can serve 2 masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or,he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You can not serve both God and money. " When our self is out of control, all our attempts at control-of ourselves or others - will fail. We need to admit that we're not God and that we're powerless without him. Then when we've finally emptied ourselves God will have room to come in and begin his healing work.
