The Only Cure for Selfishness

Monday. Mark 9: 43-50.

Selfishness is so ingrained in the human fiber that its cure takes fourfold treatment: a knife, a fluid, a fire, and salt. The knife of a strong purpose to cut it out; the blood of Jesus to wash it out; the fire of the Holy Spirit to burn it out; and the salt of the Book brooded over, and of the Spirit’s indwelling, to spoil the soil so it has a hard time sprouting again.
