A Principle That Will Kill You

"The one principle of hell is that “I am my own.”' 

George MacDonald

If you are going to church today, or if you are watching a preacher on TV, or listening to one on radio, or reading a book written by a Christian - if what you are exposing yourself to is all about you, if it makes you the center of the message, if it is concerned with you living your best life now - run from it! Run hard, run fast, escape with your life!

And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? For what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8
