Freedom vs. Narcisism - Matt Chandler on Gal 5
Once you get past a lengthy section on the Village Church logistics and building, Chandler builds out a solid perspective on freedom and draws a cool dichotomy with narcissism. I have always gone with the phrase selfishness or self-centeredness to get at this concept, but I think narcissism gives it nice depth. Gal 5 has always been so core to my understanding of the Gospel and the hope that we have. I don't live in freedom...not like Paul who is content in any situation. Chandler's rant on how to 'get to' Paul is pretty funny. I wish I was like Paul but instead find myself fixating on laying the right path for my career.
