Should Christians Pursue Personal Success?

Apologetics, Apologetics for Parents, Christianity, Comfort, Culture CrossExamined, Jesus, Mike Taylor, success, truth, Wealth
By Mike Taylor Have you ever found yourself looking at someone else’s life on social media and wondering how they’re able to do all that they do? We see people on Instagram taking vacations, buying cars, starting businesses, quitting their jobs, and doing other glamorous things all while simultaneously raising multiple kids and finishing their Master’s degree. Or so it seems, at least. And as we take in their glorious life, we can’t help but wonder: how on earth do they have the time and money and energy to do these things? Then we might start to wonder, “Is living a life focused on material wealth and personal success something God wants for us?” Because it feels like the glorification of wealth is everywhere we look nowadays, and Christians are…
