There is an ambition that kills and an ambition that gives life. If you are like me, and most young students in seminary, there is a least some level of ambition for God’s kingdom. The difference between what is healthy and what is deadly is how much of you is involved in the process. Paul’s ambition was the preach the gospel where Christ was not named. When he was thrown in jail, his enemies tried to spite him by “preaching the gospel out of selfishness and ill will.” Paul rejoiced. His joy revealed his ambition. His ambition was that the gospel was preached, not that he would be a great preacher. This is worthy ambition.
