“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.

The Everyday Gospel
It's disconcerting that so many Christians and churches see the Gospel message something that is for the unbeliever. On the contrary. We must continue to preach the message of the cross to our own sinful selves day in and day out. It's our greatest defense in defeating the sinful tendencies that grip us so.
