The Comparison Game

Have you ever noticed how quickly joy can slip through your fingers the moment you start looking at someone else’s “highlight reel”? It’s a subtle trap, isn’t it? We call it The Comparison Game, but let me tell you—it’s a game where nobody ever really wins.

In this video, we’re digging into a struggle that is as old as the Garden of Eden but as fresh as your latest social media feed. We often find ourselves measuring our worth by someone else’s yardstick—their house, their career, their kids, or even their spiritual walk. But when we put God on the shelf and start defining success by the world’s status symbols, we’re headed for a crisis of the soul.

I want to help you see yourself as you really are in the light of God’s Word. We’ll talk about:

  • The Status Trap: Why we let external measures control our peace of mind.
  • Defining Success: Moving from the world’s “scorecard” back to God’s grace.
  • Finding Contentment: How to stop looking sideways at others and start looking up at the One who designed you with a unique purpose.

Friend, you don’t have to keep up with the neighbors to be significant in the kingdom of God. Let’s stop playing the game and start living in the freedom of who He made us to be.

Insight for Living Broadcast

I found Insight for Living through our Bible study leader back in 1985, and this ministry has helped me grow in my faith as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Chuck's messages from the Bible have many a time kept me afloat and paddling toward the goal in this Christian race.
