What is Christianity : Surrender, love, self-denial

3. Christianity is a Life of Self Denial

  • The only way to surrender and to truly love.
  • Mk 10:21.
  • Learn to distinguish between: Trivial, Important, All Important
  • A stain on my tie is trivial.
  • Supporting / loving my family is important.
  • Faithfulness to God is all important.
  • Too often we ‘Major in what is minor and Minor in the major” or “We worship our work, work at our play, and play at our worship.”
  • Focus Again on What is All Important – Matt 6:33-34.
