American Dream: "A lot of it, I feel, goes back to the value system that we have. Without a benchmark to ask the bigger life questions of what’s valuable, if we don’t go back to the Word of God, if we don’t go back to how God has revealed Himself to us, then we’re basically left with opinions and instincts. And our instincts are corrupted by sin and the opinions are a dime a dozen. And so to live according to instincts and opinions really is a worthless pursuit, when God has revealed Himself in His Word and through His Son, Jesus! And what’s valuable and what’s worthwhile to pursue ourselves, to engage ourselves with, left to speculation, we will stray all the time, every time, we will sin, we will miss the mark and we will be judged for that!
In humility, if we ask the bigger question: What is valuable to God? And as we look to the Word, as we look to the Son, God reveals those answers, and the answers surprise a lot of us. Because really the answer is: Make a life in pursuit of God and His greatness and you’ll be satisfied and God will be glorified."
