"Self-righteousness is why we are content with superficial
Christianity. Convinced we are okay, we do not long for the daily rescue of
grace."
"Self-righteousness is about being more aware of and
irritated by the sins of others than you are conscious of and grieved by your
own."
"Self-righteousness looks outside to explain failure. The
Gospel calls you to admit that what comes out of you has its birth inside you."
"Self-righteousness makes you blind to yourself, but critical
of others. Grace causes you to be honest with yourself and forgiving of others."
