The Back Door to Success

In his little book, Failure: The Back Door To Success, Pastor Erwin Lutzer makes these points: • We forget that God is a specialist; He is well able to work our failures into His plans. • Heaven will be filled with surprises! Many “successful” Christians will be nobodies, and some whose lives were strewn with the wreckage of one failure after another will be great in the kingdom. • If money is a basis of judging success or failure; it is obvious that Jesus Christ was a failure! • The reason we think there are great differences among Christians is that we compare our lives with those of other believers. When we compare ourselves with God, those differences are negligible. One molehill is nearly the height of another, if you measure them all against the Himalayas.
