More importantly, there is nothing there that IS Christian in princple.
Fact is God runs my life. I can do the foot work but I cannot guarantee the results. God’s ways are NOT my ways. I am to seek His guidance and direction in my life but the ‘end’ is not my goal. My goal on a daily basis is to be of maximum service to God and my fellows. Covey’s habits do not reflect that.
So, which of the seven principles are unchristian?
I once worked with a saved Christian who kept walking around the office saying that God was his co-pilot, but, while that could have been true, we also found out that even though he was married, he had a little dish off to the side. It seems that the devil was the stewardess.
I know several people who went to prison for violent crimes and, while in prison, they “found” Jesus. They told everybody they had found Jesus. They even went to a couple of local churches and claimed before one and all they had found Jesus. Within a short time, one or two years, they were back in prison for committing some pretty violent crimes.
So, when I hear people that I don’t know or trust say things like “God runs my life,” “I have found Jesus,” or “God is my co-pilot,” those things are meaningless to me.
