I have known many Christians who have succeeded in their careers, only to fail at home. I have known some who have built very successful ministries, only to succumb to pride or immorality. When we fail to keep a relationship with God first and the priority of our lives we fail. I’ve even known churches that get so enamored with what I call ‘nickels, numbers and noise’, that they run roughshod over people. It’s easy to get into a battle over some minor issue of life, and forget the cause of the gospel.
