another Charles Bridges quote

This book is rocking my world. The more I read it the more convicted I become. The context for this quote is Bridges' discussion of pastors using their position to exalt themselves.

“The most pernicious and debasing evil of all is, a converting our sacred office into a medium for setting forth our own excellence-prostituting the glories of the cross for the indulgence of our own pride-drawing a veil over the glories of our adorable Master-and committing a robbery against him, even in the professed business to exalt him” (p. 330).

Wow. That is me.

John 3:30
