Do you ever notice that we struggle from an ego crisis?

We all assume that we can do whatever we want...
Have you ever had to tell a friend they can't sing?
Ever failed an exam that you needed to pass?

Many of us live in a culture that perpetuates the idea that we can be whatever we want to be, which if you think about it, is a heavy burden to carry. How do you make life, career or relational choices when you believe that every possible path is an option to you?

Sound's tiring doesn't it?

The Bible ticks to a different beat - it advises a better way:
Only do what only you can do.

We're talking big picture here, holistic stuff, this is not an excuse to get out of washing dishes. Regarding the substance of life, commit yourself to the place where you have most significance (notice the word significance and not success was used).

In Acts 6 the first Christian leaders were trying to do the whole thing themselves.
And it wasn't working.

So they decided to live to a different beat, took the step down from believing that they could do anything (isn't it nice when we join reality) and committed to only doing what only they could do. Because life is so much better when you do.

What was the effect?

Well, the church is still here isn't it?
