Trust/Faith and Success

Here are three categories of Christians today. Sadly this is what I think that the Christian publishing and professional speaking people have missed. They are just preaching to one of these populations. (can you guess which one?)

1. Ones who can succeed on their own without God, and they just do it without acknowledging that it is just their own strength.

2. Ones who can't succeed on their own, but don't have enough trust/faith to let God do it.(me)

3. Ones who can't succeed on their own, but have enough trust/faith to let God do it.(want to be)


The Bible is the ONLY book that gives us hope that we can succeed (in God's plan, into eternity) without being good enough ourselves. All other publications try to show us where we fail to be close to God and what to DO to improve. These only click with people that can use their own abilities to get closer to God. What about us that have no ability to succeed at anything on our own....... only the Bible gives us hope.
