“Mine own hand hath saved me” — Is such an attitude in me blocking God’s work for me?

Do I get rid of such a self-sufficient, self-dependent perspective by getting rid of a bunch of my resources? (How do I know that is the right answer?)

Must there be a balance between faith and reckless abandon?

Or is there no such thing as reckless abandon in the Christian life?

How shall I know when to accept the interpretation of the heathen as God’s message to me?

“The Lord shall rule over you” — In a practical sense, what’s that like?

How shall I discern when to deny a godly leader’s request?
