For the man in the middle, a new set of custom-made priorities takes the place of people. His or her driving interests usually fit one of the following categories: • desire to acquire possessions • desire for personal pleasure • desire for power and prestige But what looks like a winning ticket for the man in the middle turns into ruin. If you don’t believe me, just look around you at unhappy Second Chair believers. Just look at one man in the Bible who had everything God above and the earth below could give—and still managed to compromise his life away into destruction and despair.
