"The biggest protection against the kingdom of self is not a set of self-reformative defense strategies. It's a heart that's so blown away by the right-here, right-now glories of the grace of Jesus Christ that we're not easily seduced by the lesser temporary glories of that claustrophobic kingdom of one, the kingdom of self." - Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Calling: Confronting the Unique Challenges of Pastoral Ministry (102)
