so… now you know MY problem… it’s called adulation … and it all started here… a long time ago...
“The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die! 5 For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
What does this definition (and synonyms) sound like to you…? What does the great Phil Wolff want here?

he found it difficult to cope with the adulation of the fans”

Phil Wolff wants to be “like God”…. do you think Phil may have a little issue here? When the Lord finally revealed my issue to me… I saw how desperately I wanted to be an actor, finally knowing why… and realizing it was the adulation, the recognition, the applause, the control of people’s emotions, the power, the recognition. The group I was with would do any play that I wanted, as long as I would be the star. What’s better than this?
Being a preacher of course! I went thru a period where I thought almost every preacher was a wannabe actor or stand-up comic, like myself… who wasn’t good enough to make it in Hollywood.
Thankful for His revelation and forgiveness.
