The Bullet of Godly Goals, Part 1: Choices

The drive to success, status, attention and prominence is one of life’s most insidious traps. Many try to live out their own frustrations and failures through their children. The little ones are pushed beyond good sense to satisfy the status needs of the parents!

Goals are only as great as the value and greatness of the thing we pursue. One man’s goal is to drive an expensive car. Another man desires wealth so he can give to the needy. One man desires to live for himself, another to live for others. One man gives his life in service to his company (employer). Another man gives his life in service to God. Whose goals are greater? Is it greater to shoot 70 in golf or be a great leader to one’s wife and children? (You could do both but only one is necessary!)
