The Hidden Danger Of Success

Last updated on: May 17, 2018 at 6:33 pm   By Jack Wellman

What is the greatest danger for the Christian? Is it failure or success? The answer might surprise you. The Greatest Risk Believe it or not, the greatest risk for falling or stumbling for the Christian is not during a trial or tribulation, but when they’ve just achieved something great. It’s our tendency to believe that it’s from our own effort and not from God’s sovereign hand, but this robs God of glory. We fail to see that everything that happens... Read more

What are some of the marks of a Christ-follower? What do they look like? Humility I know no one alive who has had the humility that Jesus Christ had. Even those who I know that are some of the most humble people on earth are no match for Jesus’ humility, and if we’re not humble, then God is opposed to us. It is to the humble that God “gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives... Read more

People change, but money can change people in ways we might not even imagine. The Source of Wealth We are nothing more than stewards of what God’s given to us here on earth (Luke 16), and we can certainly take none of it with us after death, so what good is our money after we leave this earth?
