One will only obey a coach part of the time in a short slice of the year. During the offseason the coaches advice is (usually) not followed. Only when it is convenient will the coach’s advice be heeded.
For a master, one cannot divide one’s life up so conveniently. Every aspect is under the control of the master, from recreation to the pace of work. No area of a slave’s life does the master not cry out, “This is mine!”
To have God as a coach is idolatry and enslaving.
To have God as a master is, ironically, freedom.
