Success Will Make My Insecurities Go Away

- - Life With God, Uncategorized

I can’t speak for everyone, but I do know this about myself: I’m not particularly inventive when it comes to my picture of what success is.

How do I define success?

I see it on someone else and I want it. Whatever it is that they posses or have attained or are currently doing – that’s what I want.

In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever made a truly unique goal for myself. All my goals have been modeled after someone who was more successful than me.

I see someone’s house that is better than mine and now I want one like it… Read More

Richer Is Always Better

- - Life With God, Popular, Uncategorized

When I was in first grade, one of the kids in my class told me how girls get pregnant. Before this, I hadn’t given it much thought. But now I knew the facts of life because Steven explained them to me. Here’s what he said:

Life Coach Jesus & The Winner’s Circle

- - Life With God, Popular, Uncategorized

There is a notable trend in the modern church today…

It’s a shift away from the blatant prosperity “God wants you to be rich” teaching towards this modified variation of it: “God wants you to be cool and successful.”

People feel cooler because they attend a cool church with a cool band and a super-cool pastor who hangs out with loads of really cool people.

There’s no need to always be talking about money – that’s passé now… Read More

The Christian Label On People & Places & Things

- - Life With God, Uncategorized

In my years of growing up in my church’s youth ministry, I heard this question repeatedly, “Is it Christian?”

It was asked about cassette tapes and then CD’s.

It was asked about video games.

It was asked about movies.

It was asked about roller skating rinks.

If whatever we were evaluating did have the label “Christian” on it, then the green light of acceptability was given and we could enjoy the thing.

If it wasn’t “Christian,” it probably wasn’t going to be acceptable… Read More
