Worldliness in the Church: Self-Esteem

“Sin is an irrational anti-God syndrome that drives us to exalt ourselves and steels our hearts against devotion and obedience to our Maker.”

J.I. Packer

 

“To preserve yourself from this danger, choose for your battle-field the safe and level ground of a true and deep conviction of your own nothingness.”

Lorenzo Scupoli

 

“The very first step is to try to forget about the self altogether. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and death of your body—in the end: submit with every fibre of your being, and you will find eternal life."

C.S Lewis
