"This is what I call becoming “paper-cut martyrs,” people who inflate their own righteousness by treating legitimate but relatively minor struggles and challenges as though they were in the arena standing before lions. Let us not dishonour God or those who truly suffer in any attempt to boost our own spiritual status. After all, it is for Christ’s sake that we suffer, being no reflection of our own merit or worth. Where it is not being done to build up our own so-called holiness, it is being done out of faithless and selfish fear- a fear we claim to have been liberated from by Christ, where death itself has no sting!" ~ Jamie Arpin-Ricci
