Sometimes I ask myself, am I really just a stupid duck running after life's pleasures and missing the point of the whole thing??? I know that sometimes I can be in that sense. I just get sooooo wrapped up in my life and the things that I need to do that I end up thinking...Do I really need God? I mean come on! I've got all these e-mails to send, all these projects to work on, my fall schedule to organize! I don't really need God, do I? YES, I MOST DEFINITELY DO.
During the sermon that Josh Harris preached a couple of weeks ago morning, he brought up the very common issue of self-righteousness. He went on to give a very detailed explanation of how he thought this problem was manifesting itself in our church. "So, now...we've got self righteous leaders confronting self righteous people who are turn confronting more self-righteousness. It's self-righteousness confronting two more layers of self-righteousness!!!" It's a weed, and it grows like...like...well, a weed. And weeds can only be uprooted by the gardener, Jesus Christ. He's the only one with the tools to root out your sin.
So, in truth, if I don't go to Jesus to root out the sin that the Holy Spirit brings to light...then I AM a stupid duck. Sort of humbling isn't it?
