“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.

amen… thanks for such great reminder and insight.
What an amazing challenge. Preaching the gospel to oneself each day. Each morning and night…each lunch hour…all throughout ones day.
