For some prosperity theology pastors such as Rick Warren, it would be interesting to see how he manages his multi-dimensional motives. As Abraham Lincoln once said, no man has good enough memory to be a perfect liar.[@more@]

There are two ways we can choose to look at those who are better than us.

1. We strive to learn from them, better ourselves with our best efforts. 

2. We categorize them, placing ourselves in our own new category.

Unfortunately, the second approach is the fruit of jealousy and pride, masked in hypocrisy. For it assumes first of all, there can be categories, thereby using such to escape the responsibility God bestowed upon us to achieve perfection in Christ.

We should try our best efforts to better ourselves, discipline ourselves, and accept our individual limitations, which vary in measures.

I have seen irony in those who do not wish to obey this verse.

I have seen full-time servant of God, not willing to submit to husband, but somehow, consistently submitted to toleration of non-biblical doctrines, submitted to worldly praises, submitted to anthropocentric theology, submitted to prosperity theology, submitted to effeminacy, submitted to gossips, to rumors, to things not of God.

There are two kings in this world that people submit to: God and the devil.

Those who simply refuse or pretend to be humble by denying or despise their own authority, are actually equivalent to those dictatorial barbarians who abuse their authority.

For they pretend to give glory to God. But it is actually not to God the glory flows. Even so, such glory is not glory at all, it is unholy.

I have no problem with people commenting on churches or fellowships. But I do have problem when people try to imply or convince others that their church or fellowship is better.

If time allows, I will try to find out how "better" their group is than others.
