The majority of humanity is mismeasuring success. Humanity’s boast has been misplaced. The common view of success is often measured by the accumulation of possessions, the boast of accomplishment, and the lifting of oneself above another. Men and women are overcome with the desire to be envied and adored. They are absorbed in their interests, unconcerned for the person next to them. Sadly, this is not only the reality of heathens, meaning those void of all reality of God, but also of people who take on the name “Christian.” This is wrong. This is sin. This is what it means to love the world. This is not the love of God (1 Jn. 2:15-16).
