Philemon - True Discipleship

Discipleship always involves—self-denial – Luke 14:25-33.

Booker T. Washington – ‘He who lives for himself alone, sows to himself, makes his own comfort, his own gain the first and last consideration, will not reap happiness, but wretchedness and uneasiness instead. On the other hand one who gives himself to others, bears their burdens, reaps a reward in the form of happiness that is beyond the comprehension of the selfish.’ – Papers, (Vol. 3, April 1891, pp.144-145)

Paul Tripp – ‘The DNA of sin is selfishness. Sin turns all of us in on ourselves... It makes us all focused on and driven by our wants, needs, and feelings. Sin can so fill our eyes with our needs that we become functionally blind to the needs of others.’ – What Did You Expect? (p.118).
