Pathway to Victory, Dr. Jeffress<\/p>\n
But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.
\n\u20131 Timothy 6:9<\/p><\/blockquote>\nYou might be familiar with Bob Buford, who wrote the best-selling book \u201cHalftime.\u201d Buford was a successful cable television executive, and he was also a Christian. About halfway through his life, he decided that he wanted to do something more significant with his life. So he called a well-known strategic consultant who had worked with executives from Coca-Cola, Xerox, and other companies. The consultant sat down with Bob, and after listening to him talk about his vague ideas for the future, he asked Bob, \u201cWhat\u2019s in the box?\u201d He explained that the box represented Bob\u2019s core mission, the single thing that would determine the direction of his life. \u201cFor you, it is either money or Jesus Christ,\u201d the consultant said. \u201cIf you can tell me which it is, I can tell you the strategic planning implications of that choice. If you can\u2019t tell me, you are going to oscillate between those two values and be confused.\u201d<\/p>\n
Imagine that consultant sat down with you. Would he be able to discern the focus of your life, or are you oscillating between two values? What\u2019s in the box\u2013is it Jesus Christ, or money?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
