Ambition, Glory and Giving Your All

Description

Ambition – the desire to be better, to be the best, to be seen to be the best – is one of the passions that fuels Western society. Many of mankind’s greatest advances have been achieved through ambitious men and women. And yet the cost is often a trail of neglected families, discarded friendships, and compromised values. In this profound and wise discussion, R.T. Kendall argues that God does not call us simply to suppress all ambition. In fact it is often that very same trait which he uses to motivate a man or woman to do his will. The Apostle Paul argues R.T. Kendall, was a highly ambitious man, and like him we must allow our God-given ambition to become God-oriented, so that a love for the Glory of God eclipses our all.
