A well written study about what is in all human nature whether you are sitting in a church or not. But of course he makes the case that this something that should not be happening or flourishing in our churches.
The author talks about 3 different types of control that we can use in differing levels.
Intimidation, manipulation, domination.
The author goes on to explain that Satan desired to gain control over God’s highest creation—humanity and the realm of humanity’s dominion, the earth. Craig Green shows that a second problem comes with the manifestation of control; controlling others is ultimately an unwinnable game, causing endless strife, pain, and division. No one wins all the time.
This is why he used the example of rock, paper, scissors throughout his study.
The answer? True victory only comes when the game-playing is surrendered and the motivation
of the heart becomes, like Jesus, to serve in humble submission.
At the end of the book is an overview of the The Rock/Paper/Scissors (RPS) Curriculum that was developed to help identify and address the control-game-playing tendencies
found in all human beings and to discover in Jesus the way to live life essentially free from the game.
I am giving this review from a free ebook that was given to me by Destiny Image.
