The gods We Love, Part 2

There is an idol from which all other idols come. This idol is
responsible for bringing sin into the world. The idol of self has
caused every problem in the world that we face today and yet we
continually try to build up the self into the Savior it is can
never be. Self-Esteem cannot help us to a better life. Self-esteem
can only judge us on what we have done lately. A life built on
self-esteem is empty, painful, fragile and restless. But Jesus
offers us something different - he offers us a life that is not
build on our accomplishments or failures, but on his righteousness
and grace.
