Paul (lifebuilder Study Guides) Av Jack Kuhatschek

We desperately need role models today - people who allow us to be fully human yet inspire us to look beyond our weaknesses to the living God.

The human acceptance we long for often comes only if we are attractive, smart, wealthy or powerful. And God's standards seem even higher. We think we must work harder, live better, pray longer and witness to more people to get on God's good...

Sometimes our worship loses its passion, our prayer life becomes stagnant, we forget why we are serving God. And the world's ways subtly become our ways.

The world encourages us to love ourselves, believe in ourselves, and tell ourselves that we are beautiful, wonderful, intelligent and capable.
