upcoming lesson self esteem.. Do you think for yourself?

Self-  esteem up coming SS lesson No- 9

For the purpose of the ignorant- there is a Sabbath school class for the  week-9 talking about the topic on self esteem.

For the purpose of those who still value and still regard the word of GOD and the spirit of Prophecy and for those who are still loyal to truth than to any group or organization  and for those who profess obedience to His word than to any tradition of men I would like to bring to your attention the following :-

Even many who appear to be conscientious Christians are hindered by pride and self-esteeem from going privately to those whom they think in error, that they may talk with them in the spirit of Christ and pray {AA 305.1}

Pride, self-esteeem, and boldness are marked characteristics of the children of this day; and they are the curse of the age. . . . {CG 144.2} 

Every seed yields fruit after its kind. So it is with the traits of character we cherish. Selfishness, self-love, self-esteeem, self-indulgence, reproduce themselves; and the end is wretchedness and ruin. "He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." Galatians 6:8.  {CG 162.4} 

There should be a solemn awe upon the worshipers as they enter the sanctuary, and they should leave behind all common worldly thoughts, for it is the place where God reveals His presence. It is as the audience chamber of the great and eternal God; therefore pride and passion, dissension and self-esteeem, selfishness, and covetousness, which God pronounces idolatry, are inappropriate for such a place.  {CG 543.1} 

These are in need of stepping down from their self-esteeem and self-righteousness, and humbling themselves before God. . . {CTr 135.5}

Every seed sown produces a harvest of its kind. …we shall reap what we sow. Every characteristic of selfishness, self-love, self-esteeem, every act of self-indulgence, will bring forth a like harvest. He who lives for self is sowing to the flesh, and of the flesh he will reap corruption.  {COL 84.3} 

Their self-esteeem, their idea that a superficial knowledge of things constitutes education, make them boastful and self-satisfied, when they are, as were the Pharisees, ignorant of the Scriptures and the power of God.  {CE 100.1}

While the gospel constantly sanctifies and ennobles the receiver, it will never lead us to cherish …pride and self-esteeem. Every soul who sees Christ as he is, will abase self.  {CE 201.2} 

If you will sincerely humble your hearts before Him, empty your souls of self-esteeem, and put away the natural defects of your character, and overcome your love of supremacy, and come to God as little children, He will bestow on you His Holy Spirit.  .--Testimonies to Ministers, pp. 323, 324. {ChL 5.2}

Had Moses and Aaron been cherishing self-esteeem or indulging a passionate spirit in the face of divine warning and reproof, their guilt would have been far greater.  . .  {CC 110.2} 

Pride, self-esteeem, and boldness are marked characteristics of the children of this day, and they are the curse of the age. ..I know that it is exactly the opposite course from the one that should be pursued.  {CSW 45.2} 

He who has an unusual following, he who has received many words of commendation from the messengers of the Lord, needs the special prayers of God's faithful watchmen, that he may be shielded from the danger of cherishing thoughts of self-esteeem and spiritual pride.  {CS 147.2} 

The evils of self-esteeem and an unsanctified independence, which most impair our usefulness, and which will prove our ruin if not overcome, spring from selfishness. .  {CT 92.2}

They must put away their self-esteeem and self-importance, and put on the Lord Jesus Christ..  {CT 508.2} 

Selfishness, self-love, self-esteeem, self-indulgence, reproduce themselves, and the end is wretchedness and ruin.  {Ed 109.1}

The Lord would do great things for the workers, but their hearts are not humble. Should the Lord work in them, they would become lifted up, filled with self-esteeem, and would demerit their brethren.--Review and Herald, July 12, 1887.  {Ev 333.1} 

But when the garden of the heart is neglected, poisonous weeds of pride, self-esteeem, self-sufficiency, obtain a rank growth. We individually must watch unto prayer.  {Ev 342.1} 

Every one of us must fall on the Rock and be broken. Will any retain one particle of self-esteeem?  {FW 60.2}

Rom 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

2Co 13:5  Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.

1Th 5:21  Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

2Co 10:7  Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again

yours cautiously
