ministry idolatry

Darryl Dash writes When Ministry Becomes Idolatry. There are many people set on exposing error of various pop ministries. When I read these I typically wonder why they have to look so far. Dash rightly reminds us "that sin goes a lot deeper than you normally think. It's getting meaning and identity from someone or something else than God. ... Sin is not always the pursuit of bad things; it's inordinate affection for good things."

The prideful person is obsessed with comparisons, always measuring himself/herself against others. The proud person finds his identity in relation to someone he thinks of as a lesser (which encompasses just about everyone). The humble person finds his identity in relation to someone he knows is greater: Jesus! ~ Sam Storms
