Preach the gospel to yourself every day.
well-known individual now in glory.
I met him 20 years ago at a conference.
It was like listening to the gospel for the very first time.
I'd been a Christian for 20 years.
I'd been in ministry for 20 years.
And yet when I listened to him, I thought, this is as though I'm hearing it for the very first time.
And he said that little phrase, you've heard it many times, but it was actually the first time I'd heard it, preach the gospel to yourself every day.
I have to be honest, the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning is coffee.
But then once I've had my cup of coffee, I preach the gospel to myself.
Not the length of my discipleship.
not the measurement of my repentance.
Nothing in my hands I bring, nothing.
