The title above expresses the unspoken mantra that drives much of our Church world. The mindset is that Godโs elite are those who accomplish big and visible results. This often leaves โordinary believersโ feeling as though their lives donโt really matter.
The truth is that this man-centered, superstar-driven mentality is โfrom the world.โ We have our iconic celebrities, talented musicians, gifted writers, ingratiating media personalities just like the world does. The unspoken inference is that the important people in Godโs Kingdom are those who have achieved fame and fortune. Not only does this โsuccess-is-everythingโ mentality create a system that is ripe for slick-talking, ear-tickling charlatans, but it also leaves laypeople feeling as if their efforts to please the Lord donโt mean much.
