Q&A: Do You Have A Problem With Ambition And Ambitious People?

Question: Do You Have A Problem With Ambition And Ambitious People?

Donald Bohanon: No, not at all. Selfish ambition is the destructive part of ambition that I’m talking about. People who are driven and motivated by selfish ambition will betray their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, spouses, friends, race, and fellow human beings in general, to attain wealth and status and material things. They seek wealth, material gain, notoriety, fame, etc, and to satisfy their lusts to the detriment of others.

They will even lead innocent children down spiritually and physically destructive paths for selfish gain. They will encourage and promote behaviors they know in their hearts are corrupting and destructive just to get money.

This is where the Bible verse about the ‘love’ of money being the root of all evil is proven and gains validity. These types of individuals love money more than the welfare and wellbeing of others. This makes them very evil individuals who are not worthy of the very things they covet.
