Some have taught that the way to holiness is to "let go and let God." But that is not biblical. In the first place, we don't need to "let God", for God is sovereign and does not need to wait for us to let go before he can work. And we should not "let go", for God commands us to fight in the spiritual battle. (extracted from a book)

Hmm. Did not really see letting go and letting God in this light. I guess for me, letting go, means to give up our worldliness, to deny ourselves, and letting God take control, to let God rule and reign in my life. But now, a different viewpoint stating that letting go and letting God is not biblical.

I (the author of the same book as above) believe that demoninationalism is an offense against God and that is has weakened the church's witness. The rise of denominations is caused by sin, either sin of those who left the original church or sin of those who forced them to leave, or most likely both.

People used to ask me why were there denominations among the churches. So maybe this is a possible answer to the question? Interesting stuff.
