I Used to be Saved – By Anthony C. Burrell

If we’re honest, our desire in life is not so noble as Jesus, Moses, or Paul. Many of us are content to achieve some level of status in this world and comfort in this life. Some go farther and are satisfied if they can earn a decent living and provide for those under their care. Or even worse, the disease of apathy sets in and a person has no great desire in life and becomes content merely existing. Some go to great lengths to fulfill their all-consuming desire to feel good about themselves. More and more, the world, especially Western civilization, is displaying great ingenuity in evading reality and helping people to simply be happy with themselves. Reality is ignored if it causes the slightest bit of insecurity. We’d rather feel good than actually be good.
