The Danger of Trusting in Yourself.

Church can become a source of self-gratification. Trusting Religion, Respectability and Rituals are cover-ups for guilt. You can feel good about yourself because you are pleasing yourself. How one feels is not reflective of the condition of ones soul. The Pharisee felt good about himself but he was really in a bad condition. He did his own examination and he appeased his own standards. Man doesn't need Religious Therapy of Church he needs the Radical Cleansing of Christ. "Lord be Merciful." Luke 18:9-14
