LOOKING AT MAN INSTEAD OF GOD
One of the quickest ways to fall away from your walk with the Lord is to put too much emphasis on a man or woman of God.
God uses human instruments to plant the seeds of salvation. He uses human instruments to disciple us and help us grow in our faith. He uses human instruments to impact our spiritual lives.
In a society that is prone to idolize others, such as entertainers, athletes, and successful people, we tend to elevate our leaders as well; i.e., we tend to place our pastors and Christian leaders on pedestals they don't belong on.
Our eyes must be focused on the Lord, and our emphasis on His Word.
