Self Sabotage: From Ruin to Redemption - Use People Instead of Loving Them // Pastor Jon Larson

If you want a life that’s safe but shallow, start here:  Chase Comfort Over Calling –Pick What's Easy Instead of What God is Asking of You. Choose the easy path. Avoid challenges. Prioritize security, convenience, pleasure and ease over obedience and growth. Settle for convenience instead of stepping into the purpose God has for you. Ignore God’s promptings, tune out the nudges, convictions and the invitations that push you toward your calling. Rationalize why now isn’t the right time or why it’s easier to wait.Avoid risk and sacrifice. Tell yourself that following God’s calling is too hard, too risky or too uncertain. Let your decisions be guided by temporary satisfaction rather than eternal significance. Choose the path that requires the least resistance, even if it means ignoring your purpose. Expect life to be easy, resist the challenge to grow, serve or impact the world. Believe that if God is with you, everything should be smooth and that any resistance means you're on the wrong path.When trials come, feel entitled to escape them, not endure them.
