It’s important to “keep the main thing the main thing.” It’s easy to think, “if I can only obtain ‘this thing’ or ‘reach this goal’ then I will be fulfilled.” To prove my point, I’m asking you who are the following people and what did they achieve?
Joe Belino
Dave Cowens
Jackie Jensen
Norm VanBrocklin
Dick Groat
Mike Loynd
Sean Elliott
Geoffrey Rush
To be honest, only new who two of these me were/are. I doubt if any of you will answer even half correctly. What we should remember is this: “All men are like grass, and their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of the Lord stands forever.” (1 Peter 1:25)
