"Preaching the gospel to myself each day mounts a powerful assault against my pride and serves to establish humility in its place. Nothing suffocates my pride more than daily reminders regarding the glory of my God, the gravity of my sins, and the crucifixion of God's own Son in my place. Also, the gracious love of God, lavished on me because of Christ's death, is always humbling to remember, especially when viewed against the backdrop of the Hell I deserve."
- Milton Vincent, A Gospel Primer for Christians (2008), 27-28.

oooh, ouch! my pride gets a bit outta control, this serves as a good reminder! Thanks...(rubbing my kicked hienie)!
"Preaching the gospel to myself everyday." What a great reminder! I've never thought of it like that before. I really should open my eyes every morning and share the gospel with myself before I go about my day with the hope of sharing it with someone else. I love this.
Wow, that is a powerful sentence, "Nothing suffocates my pride more than daily reminders regarding the glory of my God, the gravity of my sins, and the crucifixtion of God's own Son in my place"! I do need to remind myself of that every morning!
Amen.
OUCH!......so true.
