Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and bestselling author Dr. Paul David Tripp

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that there were 15.6 million cosmetic

procedures performed in 2020. Needless to say,

human beings are obsessed with appearance. But when Samuel searches for a new king of Israel,

we discover that the Lord looks on the heart. This is a frightening reality because the Lord

sees each sinful and selfish desire of our heart.

But in today's episode, Paul will remind us that we don't have to live in fear

because Christ came to pay the penalty for the sin of our hearts.

If you've been enjoying the Paul Trip podcast, would you consider leaving a review?

Each review helps us reach more people with the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Now here's Paul

with this message on David. There are really only two approaches to life. There's the outside

approach that says life is found in what you can see, you can touch,

you can taste, you can hear. And that approach always lead you to three places.

It leads you to an ordinate occupation with appearance.

All of us are free of that.

That was a joke.

Think about this stunning statistic from the American Association of Plastic Surgeons.

In 2007, there were 11.7 million cosmetic surgeries done in America. We are obsessed with appearance.

It will lead you to be obsessed with possessions.

Success will be defined by the size of the pile of your stuff.

The credit card card the size of the pile of your stuff.
