God is NOT in control of your choices. Or mine. God does not control his children in that way.
The key to understanding scripture correctly is to understand how human responsibility factors into God's providential work. Calvin's predestination model is wrong, and so is the idea that God is in control of everything. God's vision and ideal was ALWAYS a joint project, where his children have a responsibility that cannot be ignored.
