It's myth busting time! One of the common idioms of our culture is, "You can be anything you want to be?" We will examine how the Myth of Endless Possibilities has created much anxiety in our culture and led to a lack of depth and specialization. The Apostle Paul stands as a stark contrast. He was an example of someone who narrowed himself and devoted himself to a single purpose as he "counted all things but loss that I may win Christ." Paul told the church at Philippi, "...this one thing I do...I press toward the mark." Paul had a single-mindedness and purpose that served him well. The Christian is called to narrow his focus by looking unto Jesus and avoid the common mistake of splintering himself into a thousand endless pursuits.
