There are two ways to tell the story of your life:
1] The story of your standing among men

how to prod and poke people past the “Infancy” and into Christian
maturity – Gordon MacDonald
3 lies that pride whispers in our ears
The Lies of Pride
1] I am special and priviledged
2] The Rules don’t apply to me
3] I deserve more than I have
Lessons for finishing well:
Focus on Faithfulness, not success
Focus on Character, not fame or wealth
Focus on Others, not self
