  As a people pleasing person who claims to follow Christ I need this message. It’s time to stand firmly on the rock of truth and kick other’s balsa wood foundations out! 🙏🏽👊🏽

  I periodically listen to this sermon/talk because it&apos;s one of my favorites, Pastor Doug. God bless.

  Considering NT Wright’s comment...<br>“The second concern is for the Christian discipleship that professes to follow the true Jesus. The disciplines of prayer and Bible study need to be rooted again and again in Jesus himself if they are not to become idolatrous or self-serving. We have often muted Jesus’ stark challenge, remaking him in our own image and then wondering why our personal spiritualities have become less than exciting and life-changing”

  Thank you for all that you do Doug! &nbsp;“Kill the dragon, get the girl” really resonated with me the first time I listened to this and have maybe said it once for every 100 times I’ve thought it. &nbsp;I came back to review this again as part of my test to if I’ve allowed ‘stinkin thinkin’ or wrong attitudes to enter into the fights I pick. &nbsp; Again thank you. <br><br>BTW, its was then Colonel ‘Chesty’ Puller at the battle for the Chosin Reservoir in Korea ~Nov 1950 who said “We&apos;re surrounded. That simplifies our problem of getting to these people and killing them.&quot; &nbsp;The phrase ‘We&apos;re surrounded. That simplifies matters.’ Is often considered to be a faithful paraphrase in Marine Corps history/lore.<br>Semper Christus my brother.

  This is so powerful for me. &nbsp; I am new to Christianity. &nbsp; Doug Wilson’s speaking struck home to me regarding, “What is a story without an antagonist?&quot; &nbsp;From early childhood onward, I have feared and even hated struggle, conflict and difficult challenges. &nbsp;I think that is why Captain Jame Tiberius Kirk of Star Trek, had been such a father figure for me. &nbsp;He embraced struggle and striving, while I feared and wished to avoid it at all costs; wishing only for resolution. &nbsp;I knew that there was some precious pearl in Kirk&apos;s attitude that I wished I could take in and live. &nbsp;Much to chew on and digest here. &nbsp;I am very appreciative for this video. &nbsp;Thank you for posting this.

  I am still amazed that idols continue to spring up, even though you just got done toppling the latest one(that&apos;s visible to you)...&quot;what?? how long has this been here?&quot; Thank you for yet another readjustment of the lens to see our Lord, how He really was and is.
