Richard Baxter on Self

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Monday, July 6, 2020 at 5:27 AM

"For I must tell you that self is the most treacherous enemy, and the most insinuating deceiver in the world. .....;and of all other vices is both the hardest to find out, and the hardest to cast out; the hardest to discover, and the hardest to cure."

John Angell James on Self

“In how many ways does self steal away the heart from God. How subtle its workings, how concealed its movements, yet how extensive its influence. How it perverts our motives, lowers our aims, corrupts our affections, and taints our best actions.”

J.C. Philpot on Knowledge of Self

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Wednesday, June 28, 2017 at 5:30 AM

“People are crying up religion all over the country, and there is not one of a thousand who has yet learnt the first lesson—to be nothing. Some extol faith and some works; some are preaching free-grace and others free-will, but of all this noisy crowd, how few lie at Jesus' feet, helpless and hopeless, and find help and hope in Him!”

J.C. Philpot on Pride

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Tuesday, December 23, 2014 at 5:58 AM

“In order that we should glory in the Lord, it is absolutely necessary that we should cease to glory in SELF. By nature, we are all prone to glory in self through those cursed principles of self-esteem and self-exaltation. Nothing but the mighty power of God can put down these cursed principles. We are prone to this pride, and it is strengthened and matured in a fallen sinner's heart. “

J.C. Philpot
