NEUTERED CHRISTIANITY IN AMERICA
Chapter 5
Living for Self vs Living for Christ
Living for yourself feels like freedom at first, but it quickly becomes a trap. You chase recognition, control, and success, but the more you run after it, the less satisfied you become. A life built around yourself always ends up empty.
Jesus invites a different way. He calls you to lose your life so that you can actually find it. When Christ becomes the center, surrender turns into freedom and serving others becomes joy.
The real breakthrough comes when personal agendas take a back seat to God’s purpose. Money, time, and influence all find their place when Christ is first. Living for self drains you. Living for Christ fills you.
