“The fact that we are ‘living sacrifices’ suggests this must be a continuous act of surrendering our whole selves to God. After all, the problem with living sacrifices is that they tend to wriggle off the altar!”
Andrew Ollerton, Romans: A Letter That Makes Sense

“Gospel-humility is not needing to think about myself. Not needing to connect things with myself. It is an end to thoughts such as, ‘I’m in this room with these people, does that make me look good?’...True gospel humility means I stop connecting every experience, every conversation with myself. In fact, I stop thinking about myself. The freedom of self-forgetfulness.”
The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness, Tim Keller

“Don’t you want to be the kind of person who when they see themselves in a mirror doesn’t admire what they see but doesn’t cringe either?”
The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness, Tim Keller
