In American Christianity, we’ve generally traded “The Greatest Commandment / The Great Commission” for “The American Dream / The Pursuit of Happiness”. While the former is rooted in sacrificing our life for something greater than ourselves, the latter is the epitome of trying to gain our life. Within this distorted system we are less likely to be transformed into the image of Jesus Christ, and more likely to take on the character of Oprah or Bill Gates.
