We all want to feel as if we are part of something important, something unique, something that is going somewhere. We want to be where the action is. We don’t want to be part of something ordinary; we want to be part of something special. Being a part of God’s kingdom just doesn’t feel exciting and sexy enough. The day-to-day reality of being with God in our work, our home life, and our community lacks the power, the transcendence, the specialness we crave. We long for the validation of our importance.
