Who is in Control? - A Personal Appeal: Become as I am

This text explores the theme of control and personal appeal in the context of physical weakness and power from God. It discusses deep affection, sacrifice for the gospel, and the renunciation of self. The biblical illustrations of Isaac and Ishmael are used to highlight the contrast between those who are in control and those who are not. The text also touches on the Judaizers/Judaism, Hagar, Mosaic Mt. Sinai, the earthly Jerusalem, Ishmael's slavery and lack of inheritance, Christians, Sarah and the "promise", Mt. Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem, Isaac's heirship and freedom, and the final exhortation to cast out the slave mentality.
