Death to Self

“Self-will mars our work for God and tries to force the chariots of God’s power and grace upon our own sidetracks.” (p78)

“The church of Christ is no autocracy where one man can be a dictator or judge, but a fellowship where One alone is Master.” (p80)

“The love of Jesus is the divinely appointed prescription for the death of self.” (p80)

“The more we try to fight self, the more it clings to us. But that moment we turn away from it and look to Christ, He fills all the consciousness and disperses everything with His own presence.” (p82)
