Secular PMA has a person look deep within to draw upon the reserves of “untapped human potential.” Paul talks about his own accomplishments as being worthless apart from the will of God Secular PMA wants us to be discontent with our circumstances; CMPA urges us to rejoice in any circumstance. Secular PMA does not look beyond this life. CMPA instructs us to look beyond it.
