Confident Living In A Competitive World
Early 19th-century American statesman Henry Clay wrote, “Of all human powers operating on the affairs of mankind, none is greater than that of competition.” It’s even more pronounced in the 21st century. We naturally connect competition with sports, but it’s far more pervasive than that. Stores compete for our dollars. Politicians compete for our votes. Students compete for better grades. Workers compete for jobs or advancement. And we all compete with each other at some level for attention, love, and affection. Because we live in such a competitive world, this booklet was written to explore the value, the benefits, and the dangers of competition—and what it takes for a follower of Christ to compete with honor and confidence.
