So you think this “you were meant for greatness” stuff is actually Scriptural? I’m glad I scare people with such a mindset away. Jesus scared a lot of them away too, when their reasons for following him were shallow.

Obedience is the key. We are not destined for greatness, in fact we are actually called to humility and deference. We are destined for glory, not popularity - there’s a vast difference.

The Narnia children were obedient, not great.

It's a shame Lewis's books aren't "Christian" enough for you. As a child, they were instrumental in introducing me to the wonders and joy of following Christ, and the scope of the spiritual world that lies beyond this one.

Of course I studied the Bible to gain a solid Scriptural understanding, but Lewis's books gave me the hunger to learn more.

You erroneously assume that anyone who believes that following Christ leads to greatness must have been motivated to follow him for that very reason. That is wrong of you.

You also, to you own detriment, ascribe a worldly definition to "greatness". I want to do great things in Christ, whether that be quietly raising my children to love the Lord, or becoming the next Billy Graham. The former would certainly not be considered "great" by the world, but if it is God's calling for me, then it is the greatest thing possible.
