"Dying to self is more about change than pain." This week, Pastor Vincent Carpenter taught on God's invitation of baptism. When we hear the phrase "dying to self," the enemy wants our focus to be on pain. In reality, we gain much more from dying to ourselves than we lose. Dying to ourselves is really an invitation to greater access to the Kingdom of God — to a powerful, life-giving experience that God has for us. Whether what we gain is a change of mindset, location or people, our reward of dying to self will always outweigh our costs.
