Everybody is a slave to someone or something

Mark Driscoll slams it in the head in his Philippians Series-Loneliness (Links: Watch this guy)
Everyone is really a slave to someone or something. Girls if you're doing everything your boyfriend wants your a slave to him. Guys if you're infatuated with a girl's body parts you're a slave to them. Name your enslaver whether sports, girlfriends, boyfriends, video games, cutting, blogging, pornography etc..
Driscoll says, basically what the Bible says, is that Jesus is a better to us than we our to oursleves. That's why it's okay to be a slave to Jesus like Paul said of himself in Philipians. Because Jesus knows what's best for us. Those other masters will drive us to insanity and destruction whereas Jesus sets us free to love and serve God.
