The title above expresses the unspoken mantra that drives much of our Church world. The mindset is that Godβs elite are those who accomplish big and visible results. This often leaves βordinary believersβ feeling as though their lives donβt really matter.
The truth is that this man-centered, superstar-driven mentality is βfrom the world.β 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 Godβs Kingdom are those who have achieved fame and fortune. Not only does this βsuccess-is-everythingβ 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 donβt mean much.
