1.What is success?

I just Googled “Tips for success”.

In less than a second, here’s what Google found:

“About 311,000,000 results (0.34 seconds)”

In case you’re reading this post early in the morning before your first cup of coffee….

In case your brain is having trouble interpreting all those zeros…

That’s three hundred eleven MILLION results in .34 seconds.

Success is a popular topic.

What kind of success are all those posts talking about?

Their focus can be summed up in two words:

Money.  Fame.

Christine Sine, writing on Godspace, says maybe we’ve got success all wrong…

2. If You Have Money…

Continuing our exploration of success…

Tim Challies recounts a personal experience at a local soccer game…

An incident which led him to think about how we use the money we have…

It’s a choice.

And with every choice, there are rewards… and costs.

 

3. God Wants Us to be Rich??

A final post in today’s look at success…

What about all those prosperity gospel preachers?

The ones who say God wants us to be rich?

Who say “give to get”?

Who urge us to ask God for money and material success?

Writing at the Gospel Coalition, David W. Jones takes a deep theological look at the prosperity gospel and finds 5 theological errors at its heart…

4. Bruce or Caitlyn?

Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner’s gender transition has been the hot social media topic of the week.

How should Christians respond?

Do we say…

Bruce or Caitlyn?

He or she?

Denny Burk takes look at what others are saying… and then tries to work out his own response…
