So Long Self

Musical Moments with Mike

Here is Mike’s spiritual prescription for the rest of your week life: Be Spiritually Skitzo! That’s right – Be out of your mind for Jesus to the degree that you say goodbye to the old life and live only for Jesus one day at a time. Think of the mess we make of our lives when we are in control. (The reality is we are really never in control – we just think we are.) It is very liberating to say goodbye to self and surrender to Jesus as Savior and Lord. Then we ask that popular question: “What would Jesus do?” – then do it. The real reality is we will have wayyyy more joy and wayyyy more peace if we say SO LONG SELF and say hello to real living by following Jesus with radical abandonment to our old life. Give it up!

Read Mark 8:34-38 Then listen to So Long Self by MercyMe. After that go spiritually skitzo for Jesus.

And He summoned the crowd together with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? For what could a person give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
