In the Driver's Seat -- Part 1


Take a minute. What guides your life? The correct answer here is God. But all of us -- some of the time, all of the time, or part of the time -- are driven by painful, bad stuff. If you are reading this, maybe you are being driven by alcohol or other drugs.

The Self-Driven Life gives us four common things that take the wheel as we drop God off at at a bus stop in Kalamazoo. This is a wonderful book, written by Rick Warren
(https://www.churchsource.com/rickwarren), that gives me lots of oh-yea moments. Here are his top drivers. For the next five blog posts, I will write a little about each. They are:

  1. Many people are driven by guilt.
  2. Many people are driven by resentment and anger.
  3. Many people are driven by fear.
  4. Many people are driven by materialism.
  5. Many people are driven by the need for approval.
I will dissect each like a frog in a high school biology class.
