Comparison

When we’re trying to live well as Christians, are we busy listening to Christ or making a list of ways that other believers are failing to do as well as us?

We want to be the most valuable player in our lives, but what if we aren’t and were never meant to be? How do we make peace with this?

“You are the Chosen One.” Movies, books and video games are obsessed with this idea of unique destiny, whether it’s through prophesies or rare abilities. We, as a culture, are obsessed with the idea of being special.

When we struggle with the unlikable parts of ourselves, what do we wish we could change and how do we take this out on others?

If you’re anything like me, the rule against coveting in the Ten Commandments is easy to brush off.

“You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's” (Exodus 20:17, ESV).
