In Search of Significance—Biff’s Story

When the gospel is no longer your practical, everyday center—when it ceases to be the functional anchor of your life, and you replace it with lesser things, even admirable or biblical pursuits like serving the Lord—you will begin to drift toward dissatisfaction and unrest. And where discontentment grows, so does the enticement to meet God-given longings through man-centered means. This subtle exchange—replacing Christ with works—leads to a life increasingly marked by striving, performing, and attempting to secure worth and identity apart from God.
