Beware

"Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."
Luke 20:46-47 (ESV)
 
Popularity in life never delivers true satisfaction in life. Those who focus on what people think about them tend to manipulate and use those people to foster their feelings of superiority and satisfaction. We will always be in danger when we place "self" on the pedestal.
 
A society that prides itself on each man doing what is best for themselves is doomed to failure. That mind frame creates many subcultures that often become desperate in their attempt to equalize life's experiences. Since the norm is to justify each man in their own eyes, regulatory forces are viewed as the enemy of the people.
 
We need to beware of those who are motivated by adoring fans, for in the end, only truth will matter, and truth can never be manipulated.

It is good that God does not depend upon our ability, faith, or goodness

Hope in a King?
