What does it look like when you have it all, from the world's (and the church's) perspective, and then fall victim to your own ego? Watch and listen to Skip Ryan, former pastor of Park Cities Presbyterian Church in Dallas, as he talks about his fall as a result of addiction to pain killers.
[9] So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, [10] for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
[11] Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. [12] For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. [13] And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4)
