You go up to the devil and ask if he knows he's a sinner and he'll say, "Well, yes I am! And a mighty fine one at that!"

Everywhere......everyone you meet....is a potential brother or sister in CHRIST.

We have taken that truth, that if you truly believe and you confess Christ even if it costs you your life ... we have taken that beautiful truth and reduced it down to, "If you pray a little prayer before a bunch of people in a church in America, you can be guaranteed you were saved if you think you were sincere."

The work is hindered. The glory of God is tarnished and it is because the people of God no longer know how to discern the things of God.

If you give them a God made in their own image, I guarantee they'll accept Him. But He won't be the God who saves.

So you walk up to this man sinner and you say, "God loves you and He has a wonderful plan for your life!" and he goes, "What? God loves me? That's fantastic. I LOVE ME, TOO! And He loves me more than I love me? Well, that's hard to imagine. I'll take a God like that. You got two of them?"

To the self-righteous, being judged according to deeds does not seem too alarming but to the man who knows himself the thought is terrifying.
