I listened to the testimony of a famous sportsman telling how he came to know Christ, his name is Bernhard Langer, in case you don't know about him,he was one of the top golfers in the world. He comes from Germany,and was brought up in very religious family,he said he did everything to try and please God,to win his favour. Well that didn't work out until he had a real spiritual encounter with God,when he asked Jesus to be his Saviour. Writing on the wealthy and famous,Philip Yancey who had opportunities to interview,''stars'', great footballers,movie actors, music performers, best selling authors, politicians, and TV personalities. We fawn over them,poring over the minutiae of their lives...... Yet I must tell you that,in my limited experience, I have Paul Johnson's principle to hold true; our ''idols'' are as miserable a group of people as I have ever met. Most have troubled or broken marriages. Nearly all are incurably dependent on psychotherapy. In a heavy irony,these larger- than-life heroes seem tormented by self doubt'.The fact is ,'fame and fortune ', does not remove our need of Christ ,as ones Saviour, in fact it highlights it.
