Many people are worried about the effect of unrighteousness in the church. But the fact is that it isn't unrighteousness, but self-righteousness that presents the greatest threat.

Legalistic religionists can’t stand grace for at least one reason. It takes them completely out of the limelight and gives all the glory to God.

Tell the church leaders in Martin Luther’s day that people’s good works didn’t move them one inch toward salvation and, like Luther, you would have been considered a heretic.
