Are You Willing To Be Nobody

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 17, 2021

Everyone wants to win 3000 in a day and have the largest church in their country, but God has more nobodies than superstars.

There is an old country song that said, “I’m chasin’ the neon rainbow, livin’ the honky tonk dream.” Very few artists find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow making their dream come true. Few make it to the ranks of a one hit wonder. Many will quit and get a “real job” or continue to ...read more
