Self + Righteousness = Rubbish

May 12, 2021

Summary

Let's be real, self-righteousness is a problem in the church. When we are self-righteous, it is very dangerous for others--and it is detrimental for ourselves. Jon and Justin talk about the blindness of self-righteousness, the harm that comes from it, and, of course, the sufficiency of Christ.

Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, we are going to be discussing self-righteousness.

00:00:08

And let's be real, it has really been affecting the church and those around the church.

00:00:14

And this is a problem that goes all the way back to Philippians chapter 3 when Paul talks about his own self-righteousness.

00:00:21

It's a helpful conversation.

00:00:23

Justin and I are both encouraged by it, and we hope you are too.

00:00:26

Stay tuned.

Your host today, we're not here.

Justin, we're not here standing on the wall to mow people down.

00:01:15

That's right.

00:01:16

We're going to correct everybody.
