The Most Dangerous Version of You

There’s something dangerous about being seen. Not hated.Not attacked.Celebrated. Because criticism will often drive you to God.But applause can slowly convince you that you got there without Him. The enemy doesn’t always roar like a lion.Sometimes he sounds like clapping hands.Sometimes temptation arrives dressed like affirmation.Sometimes the greatest threat to your soulisn’t suffering—it’s significance.

What Are You Waiting For?

(From Luke 16:1-13) We’re competitive about the dumbest things. Someone cuts you off in the Chick-fil-A drive-thru…so you reroute, hit mobile order, and beat them anyway. Win.
