Stardom

The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team. (John Wooden, late sports coach)

We seem to be in a star-crazed world. Whether it’s sports, theater, music, or dance—everyone wants to be a star. And the general public contributes to the craze by exaggerated mimicry in dress, conduct, language—and adulation almost to the point of idolatry. As Wooden points out, however, there would be no stars without a supporting team.

What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not? (1 Corinthians 4:7)
