Matthew 19:16-22 Notes:
• The _________________________ “Let’s Talk About Me.” Notes:
Page 1 of 5
Matthew 19:16 Matthew 19:20 “To most people the greatest persons in the universe are themselves. Their lives are made up of endless variations of the word ‘me.’” —Hannah Whitall Smith Notes:
“Most of the trouble in this world is caused by people wanting to be important.” —T.S. Eliot
• The __________________________: “Let’s Think About Others” Matthew 19:17-21 “Jesus was not disclaiming His own deity, but rather teaching the young man that all but God are sinners. This young man’s most serious defect was his reluctance to confess his own utter spiritual bankruptcy.” —John MacArthur “Before showing him the way to life, Jesus wanted to impress upon the young man both the high standard required by God and the absolute futility of seeking salvation by his own merit… His answer was no doubt sincere but superficial and untrue. He may have been blameless in terms of external actions, but not in terms of internal attitudes and motives.” —John MacArthur Notes:

“Meology” was this man’s life focus.
• The _________________________: “Let’s Undo the Deception” Matthew 19:21 Notes:
“Humility is the most difficult of all virtues to achieve; nothing dies harder than the desire to think well of oneself.” —T.S. Eliot Notes:
“Helping people to feel loved and worthwhile has become the central mission of the church. We are learning not to worship God in selfdenial and costly service, but to embrace our inner child, heal our memories, overcome addictions, life our depressions, improve our selfimages, establish self-preserving boundaries, substitute self-love for self-hatred, and replace shame with affirming acceptance of who we are. Recovery from pain is absorbing an increasing share of the church’s energy. And that is alarming… We have become committed to relieving the pain behind our problems rather than using our pain to wrestle more passionately with the character and purpose of God. Feeling better has become more important than finding God…” —Dr. Larry Crabb
Mark 10:21 Page 3 of 5
Notes:
“… We have rearranged things so that God is now worthy of honor because He has honored us. ‘Worthy is the Lamb,’ we cry, not in response to His amazing grace, but because He has recovered what we value most: the ability to like ourselves. We now matter more than God.” —Dr. Larry Crabb
Colossians 1:16-20
