You don\u2019t find happiness, fulfillment, and meaning by prioritizing yourself above all. The pathway to true and lasting blessedness doesn\u2019t come through getting our desires but through giving ourselves. We don\u2019t discover joy by prioritizing ourselves but by completely giving ourselves back to the One who made us. Pursue your own happiness above all, and you\u2019ll find yourself miserably enslaved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rpmministries.org\/2024\/12\/relational-heresy\/\">Beware of Relational Heresy While Addressing Perceived Doctrinal Heresy<\/a> <\/p>\n<p data-beyondwords-marker=\"33624128-9c72-487e-ba3f-c44b11f0b7bb\" class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bob Kellemen expresses the importance of ensuring we don&#8217;t fall into relational heresy while we attempt to address what we perceive to be doctrinal heresy. &#8220;Our failure to address this runs counter to God\u2019s all-sufficient Word.
