    SELF DENIED

    Biblically, a posture is a physical position in worship that reflects the heart's attitude of reverence towards God and our dependence on Him. At the beginning of this year, the Lord impressed on us that there are six postures—six mindsets—that He wants to undergird and inform our prayers for Forgiving Forward.

    • All for God’s Glory

    • Jesus Focused

    • Shepherd Led

    • Gospel-Centric

    • Abiding Trust

    • Self Denied

    This is the sixth in a series of blogs unpacking each of the postures that guide the ministry of Forgiving Forward. The sixth posture is:

    Matthew 10:39

    Charles H. Spurgeon
