Self--righteousness is so detremental.. its embarressing honestly.

@joshua77 - - This is such a great message! Ever since God started revealing His grace to me after knowing Him for 14 yrs, i have never been more free. I still mess up, but the freedom is more, and more evident in my heart and in my mind (soul). When people say that they have to love God with all their hearts and mind, I'm like, "wow, can you TRULY really believe that any human can EVER do that?" NO, we cant, thats why only "in Christ," can we ever love Him and worship Him in as He is!

The Church has been so week because it has been mixing law and grace, mixing the old covenant with the new and preventing the church from coming into the new. Worshipping with one foot on Calvary and one foot on Mt. Sinai, and always confussed about God. I know, I lived it for years. We read every passage that is precross including the Gospels and never ask the question, "what difference did the cross make" and we are a confussed generation. IT IS FINISHED will change your life!! Great job!!

It's not bad. In fact, the Bible describes the law as something holy, righteous, and good. But it doesn't have the power to make you holy, righteous, or good. Only grace does. I'm not against the law. But I'm for the law for the purpose for which it was intended. What was it's purpose? To expose people. To bring them to an end of themselves and lead them to Christ. The Bible calls the law obsolete (Heb. 8:13) and the ministry of death (2 Cor. 3:17). We are no longer under law but under grace.

@joshuat77 Hello! =D I listened to your sermon jam again, and I got confused. :D I don't know if you're talking about salvation or sanctification. (Well maybe because I don't know who your audience is) If you're talking about salvation, then you're right. But when we got saved, we weren't given freedom from doing the law. We were given freedom to do the law. That's because Jesus already paid for our sins. =D

Hmmm.. I get your point but what I'm confused with is that you make it sound like the law is kind of useless, in fact, something like bad because it condemns us and all. Did I understand it right? Please correct me if I'm wrong. ^^~

Hebrews 7:18 calls the Law "weak and useless"

You always slap me in the face with the message I need most. I couldn't find anything unbiblical in this message.  The Pope would do well to listen to it.
