Don't Trust Yourself

Discerning What Is Best with Dr Rex Rogers

We often hear, Just believe in yourself. This is how Western Culture has functioned for some time. The self or self-fulfillment have been the primary focus of most people's lives. We feed the self. Many of us have come to believe that happiness is defined by what we own, how we look, who we impress, and how much entertainment we can enjoy.
Perhaps believing in ourselves is not a bad affirmation as far as it goes. But if that is all we do, we're in trouble, because, well, our self is untrustworthy. We each have a sinful heart. To develop perspective on our lives, to address the greatest challenges and difficulties in our lives, we must look outside ourselves to the Lord and the Scripture.
