To manipulate, drive or manage people is not the same thing as to lead them.
Manipulation
Philip Yancey
A healthy church does not use scare tactics to manipulate emotions. Nor does it deny that we will face frightening situations. Rather, it directs fearful people toward a trustworthy God.
N T Wright
We are called to be people of God’s Word. And God’s word can never be controlled by rationalistic schemes are contained within the tight little frameworks that we invent to keep everything tidy and under control.
