Dr. Gary Barnes, associate professor of Biblical Counseling, asks us to examine our personal ambitions and determine whether they are driven by Christ's love or by selfishness. He looks at Romans 6:11-12 and shows that we are to flee selfish desires but allow God's grace and love to be a powerful "driver" in our life.
