Slave

I am currently reading through 2 Peter. I invite you to open your Bible and read along with me or find it online here.

2 Peter 2

19 They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of sin and corruption. For you are a slave to whatever controls you.

Slave. Peter spends a lot of time, between verse 2 and verse 19, talking about the consequences of following false teaching. Then, he writes this thought ... “you are a slave to whatever controls you.” That is a great point that leads to a pointed questions ... What controls you? In other words, what influences the decisions you make ... you, someone else, something else or God?
