Self-pity – an unhealthy, obsessive sorrow for oneself arising from a narrow, selfish viewpoint of one's troubles – is one of the most universal, crippling, and deadly sins that stunt the characters and abort the destinies of Christians. And one of the most undetected ones! How many teachings have you heard on this subject? In this episode, Greg defines self-pity and uses multiple biblical texts and examples to describe its many causes, manifestations, and deadly effects. He then offers practical biblical instructions on how to take self-pity captive and become free to know Christ intimately and spend the rest of your life serving others for Christ's sake, rather than self-destructing spiritually and spending the rest of your days serving sin and Satan for self-pity's sake. Your time listening to this one will be well spent indeed! (But Satan won't think so . . .)
