Things that seem to work

When I consider the numerous ways Christians claim to have gotten closer to God, all I can say is that a lot of things seem to work for a while. The down-side, however, comes from what those means end up teaching us about ourselves, life, and God. There is only one secret to the Christian life, and that is Christ himself. What does your program put forth as the secret?

i love for us how it all leads to Christ Himself because there is NOTHING else … no ONE else.  He Himself Is quite Sufficient!  the lie to us is that He Is not! there is an awful lot … well endless really … distraction of nothingness in that 'not' … a lot of recycled emptiness and nothingness being stirred up and stirred around, candy coated with lovely colors and textures and flavors of the same lie and then offered up as true treasure and value and worth that eventually proves to be completely bogus!  it consistently attempts to convince us that we who are found in Christ are not enough either … that we are lacking and GOD can not possibly be happy with us, which is the simple perpetuation of the lie!  the lie that claims over and over again that Christ is not enough, much less all that He accomplished once and for all!  to be redundant on purpose, it basically says that Christ Himself is lacking and insufficient, therefore we are as well.  blah blah blah ….
